Chapter 247: The Black Sand River Rebellion
The next morning, as the last ray of moonlight faded away, the morning sun immediately shone with brilliant light.
In the stronghold camp, Li Qing slowly woke up from deep practice.
As he exhaled a breath of turbid air, Li Qing subconsciously looked at his shoulder, and he suddenly found that the spiritual power trace set by the middle-aged Taoist nun last night had disappeared.
"Huh? Why is it gone?! Is this a great kindness?"
Li Qing would not be naive to think that the other party really took the initiative to erase it. After all, this spiritual power mark used by the sense will disappear by itself after three days.
There is only one possibility.
The middle-aged Taoist nun last night may have encountered an accident!
"This exploration of the cave in the water is really a dangerous job, and I got a box lunch in one night!"
Li Qing muttered to himself, and at this time he once again had the idea of retreating in his heart.
"Since the mark has been eliminated, I think it should be okay to leave now."
As he said, Li Qing stood up.
The movement in the Black Sand River last night was not small, and the surrounding area could vaguely feel the vibration. He did not think that the Tianhe Sect could conceal this news forever.
In addition, it is now a war period, and the Shangqing Sect will definitely keep an eye on the every move of the Tianhe Sect.
It can be predicted that in the future, this place will definitely become a place of dispute, and it may lead to a war between Jindan-stage cultivators.
At that time, he, a small Qi-refining cultivator, will really be worse than cannon fodder.
When he thought of this possibility, Li Qing's heart trembled slightly, and then he walked out of the camp quickly, intending to leave immediately.
Soon, Li Qing stopped again. He thought about it and finally decided to inform Ye Feng of the news.
"Well, after all, it is related to the life and death of an elder of the Tianhe Sect. Tell Ye Feng about this matter so that he can be mentally prepared."
As soon as the voice fell, Li Qing flew towards the direction of the Black Sand River.
The surging river water was surging endlessly, and the black mud and sand piled up on both sides of the river bank were very shocking, not like a normal river at all.
On both sides of the most turbulent section of the Black Sand River, several disciples of the Tianhe Sect had set up a simple first-level formation to trap this place.
Sure enough, the middle-aged Taoist nun was not here, she must have gone into the water.
Li Qing's heart moved, and then he flew towards the edge of the formation.
"Stop! This is the important place of our Tianhe Sect. Please retreat!" A arrogant Tianhe Sect disciple shouted loudly, staring at Li Qing who was approaching with vigilance.
Li Qing didn't mind it at all, just clasped his fists and said: "I am a close friend of a disciple of your sect, and I came here to see Ye Feng."
Not long after, the formation opened a gap, and Ye Feng, who was a little surprised, walked out quickly from it.
"Brother Li, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Li Qing approached, lowered his voice, pointed to his shoulder, and said:
"Brother Ye, the spiritual power mark left by the elder of your sect last night has disappeared at this moment."
When these words came out, Ye Feng was stunned, and then his face changed slightly.
It's easy to talk to smart people. Seeing the change in Ye Feng's expression, the other party obviously guessed what this meant.
Ye Feng's eyes flickered, and he was obviously a little undecided.
"This is really..."
"This cave under the water is so dangerous. Brother Li, since the spiritual mark has disappeared, you are free next. What do you plan to do next?"
Li Qing answered truthfully: "Leave the Black Sand River Basin, visit Senior Qingyang, and then practice alone, and continue to look for spiritual medicine to refine the foundation-building pill."
Even the foundation-building period died in that mysterious underwater cave, Li Qing said he would never go down to take risks.
He still has a lot of time left in his life, and now he just needs to sit and watch the clouds rise and fall.
"Okay, then I won't keep you. This matter is of great importance, and I have to discuss it with several fellow disciples."
"See you later!"
After a simple farewell, Li Qing stepped on the Wushuang Hammer and flew towards the horizon.
Looking at Li Qing's gradually receding figure, Ye Feng immediately turned back and said:
"My fellow brothers and sisters, I think Elder Jingguan may have met with an accident down there!"
A stone caused a thousand waves, and all the disciples of Tianhe Sect in the formation widened their eyes and said in disbelief:
"How is it possible, Junior Brother Ye, you can't say that casually."
"Senior Brother Ye, how did you get this news? You know, Elder Jingguan is a mid-stage foundation building cultivator!"
"It's only been one night since she went down, it shouldn't be that bad."
Listening to everyone talking, Ye Feng repeated what Li Qing had just said to him verbatim.
After listening to Ye Feng's story, all the disciples of Tianhe Sect felt dizzy and some could not believe this fact.
The spiritual power mark would not disappear for no reason, especially for the cultivators in the foundation-building stage. If it was said to stay for three days, it would definitely dissipate after three days.
Now it dissipated ahead of time, it is indeed very likely that an accident occurred.
At this moment, they no longer cared about Li Qing's stay or departure, because no matter how big the matter was, it was not as big as an elder in the foundation-building stage dying here easily.
At this moment, the disciples looked at the surface of the Black Sand River, and there was no yearning and expectation in their eyes. Instead, they looked at the bottom of the water with the eyes of looking at a demon cave.
Such a silent death devoured the life of a mid-stage foundation-building cultivator, and all the disciples present could not help but feel a chill.
"What should we do? Should we send someone to pass the news back to the sect?"
"No, this place is of great importance, and there must be enough people stationed here."
"That's right, Senior Brother Su Wei has sent someone back to the sect to pass the news. I think it won't be long before elders from other sects come here."
"Then should we send someone down to take a look?"
"."
As for what the Tianhe Sect disciples thought, Li Qing, who had already left far away, didn't care at all. At this moment, he just wanted to run as far as possible to avoid the storm that was about to form.
In the cave under the water, a few grasses were floating in a dark cave.
Amid the undercurrent, a dried corpse wearing a Taoist robe slowly floated out of the cave.
If the disciples of the Tianhe Sect saw this scene, they would definitely feel extremely horrified, because this was the Jingguan Elder in their sect!
A person who was alive last night was sucked dry of blood and turned into a mummy.
Her dead face still had an expression of reluctance and shock. It was hard to imagine what she had experienced before she died!
At this time, in the deep cave where the undercurrent was surging, a pool of spiritual liquid intertwined with yin and yang was still floating in the water.
At the deepest part, a stone egg was quietly placed on the high platform, but the surface of the egg was already stained with a layer of red.
As time went by, these blood stains were not only not washed away by the water, but continued to seep into the stone egg, as if absorbed by this lifeless egg.
A few days later, two foundation-building elders of Tianhe Sect came to the Black Sand River with a group of disciples.
After learning that the middle-aged Taoist nun was likely dead, the two elders were also quite shocked.
Then the two elders joined forces and led the disciples to set up a second-level formation here, blocking the entire Black Sand River basin.
Later, the two elders who were somewhat undecided finally decided to continue to send disciples to report the news of Elder Jingguan's death back to the sect.
A few days later, the unusual movement of Tianhe Sect finally attracted the attention of the people of Shangqing Sect.
The chaos was about to break out. The Black Sand River, which had just experienced a war four years ago, was now in dispute again.
Countless cultivators from the two sects gathered here, and there were many masters in the Jindan stage who were confronting each other.
Between heaven and earth, an angry voice resounded like a huge bell!
"Hmph, now that our two sects are about to negotiate and make peace, why are you invading the territory of our Tianhe Sect again? Do you really think that our sect can be bullied?"
Many low-level cultivators were even a little dizzy by this voice.
But soon, a voice from Shangqing Sect was also transmitted.
"That's wrong. Four years ago, the Black Sand River area fell into the hands of my Shangqing Sect. How did it become the territory of your Tianhe Sect?"
Another Jindan-stage expert appeared and confronted the Jindan ancestor of the Tianhe Sect.
Boom!
It was originally a sunny day, but for some reason, it suddenly became dark, with dark clouds and lightning.
A figure stepped out of the dark clouds. He seemed to be the god in charge of thunder punishment, with lightning lingering around him.
"Where is Linglong Zhenren? Let her come out. I want to see if this Linglong treasure body is as terrible as the rumors say."
As soon as this person appeared, a disciple from the Tianhe Sect exclaimed.
"It's Master Kong, he's out of seclusion!"
"Great, Master Kong is finally out of seclusion."
"Master Kong has a thunder-attributed spiritual root, and his thunder magic has reached perfection."
That's right, this person is Kong Ming, a great elder of Tianhe Sect!
"Hahaha, I heard that you, old ghost Kong, got a piece of thunder crystal a few years ago. You are so eager to establish your power. It seems that you have already refined it into a life-saving magic weapon?"
On the side of Shangqing Sect, an old man also stepped out and directly blocked all the pressure emitted by Kong Ming.
"Four years ago, my senior brother died here. If Linglong Zhenren didn't come out, I would have killed you here today to comfort my senior brother's spirit in heaven!"
After the voice fell, Kong Ming raised one hand, and thick clouds rolled up in the sky. Several thousand-foot-long lightning bolts suddenly struck and directly hit the Shangqing Sect.
Boom!
The thunder-type spiritual root, the killing power is absolutely terrible, when it reaches the Jindan stage, every move and every style is like the power of heaven!
Kong Ming is called Tianlei Zhenren, which is enough to explain everything!
Swish!
The Jindan ancestor of Shangqing Sect put his hands together and quickly formed a seal. The clear air between heaven and earth rushed into the sky and turned into an invisible barrier, blocking the attack.
After the thousand-foot thunder was annihilated, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth became chaotic.
This is the power of the Jindan Zhenren!
Just a simple fight and test made the other cultivators below feel deeply terrified.
Even if it was just the aftermath, it could kill them.
Many casual cultivators who came here to join in the fun showed bitterness on their faces, and then turned around and fled without thinking, for fear of being affected.
Only a small number of people who thought they had good means stayed and planned to take advantage of the chaos to see if they could get some benefits. These were all desperate people.
