Chapter 22: The Full Moon Waxes and Wanes, The Road of the Strong

  You had a nameless face like cold frost, and a thread of cold awn flashed between your eyebrows. At this time, he, who had come back to his senses, naturally detected a strange feeling, the direction was exactly where the jade-faced dignitary flew away.

  Following the mysterious sensation, Jun Wú Míng seemed to feel that there was someone extremely close to him not far away. The connection between them seemed to be very strong. Even if Jun Wú Míng intentionally closed off his senses, he could still feel an inexplicable force drawing him in from the bottom of his heart. It was as if there was a force in the distance that was constantly attracting him.

  As if in the midst of obscurity, a thread of nothingness tightly connected the two people together!

  Silent and speechless, that dignified jade-like person must also be using this opportunity to probe into his thoughts with an overbearing mental power. Only then can he barely guess some of his ideas. The deepest thoughts should never be known, otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm and unruffled. After all, the secrets in his heart are too important, too terrifying.

  "Heh heh."

  Suddenly, you have an inexplicable smile on your face. You suddenly feel that you are somewhat inexplicable, this world is originally a place where you can only gain something by giving up something else, the truth of gains and losses is not unknown to yourself. Having gained such benefits, paying some price is what you should do.

  "I've been in a good situation for too long, and as a result, I've become weaker." He said with self-mockery.

  Just raise your own cultivation a bit, and some troubles will be solved with just one sword strike!

  A faint movement, a wisp of river water churned out, rippling in the cave and emitting a gleaming black light, appearing mysterious and cold to the extreme.

  Only to see the river's surface with life and death energies entwined, waves of ripples rolling out on the black water's surface. As the black divine water unfolded, only to see the green moss in the cave wither and turn into ash at a visible speed, the life energies were swept away by the life and death energies in the river and merged into the black divine water, eerie to the extreme.

  He nodded slightly, this life and death energy was extremely strange, unknowingly. It seemed that the benefits of this yin-yang combined repair were also extraordinary, his complexion returned to calmness, he stepped out of the cold mountain cave, facing the morning light, chose a direction, and flew down towards the foot of the mountain with the wind.

  Dianchun Hall, Lianyun Village Council Chamber.

  On the high, emerald-green throne, the Great Chieftain wore a crimson brocade robe with tiger eyes shining brightly. This emerald throne was carved from a piece of warm jade that had been tempered for ten thousand years and was the exclusive law seat of the clan leader, calming the mind and spirit, with subtle uses beyond compare.

  Beautiful lady Lin Hong sits elegantly on the back seat, wearing a white jasmine smoke gauze dress with a soft smoke gauze sash. Her long white dress trails behind her like a misty veil, adorned with plum blossoms and a hundred folds of water-like silk. A soft smoke gauze is tied around her waist, giving off a delicate, tender, and alluring charm. Her face is stunningly beautiful, with a pair of phoenix eyes that seem to be born with a flirtatious intent, yet also exude a stern and majestic aura. Her dark hair is styled in an elegant coiffure, showcasing her dignified and refined demeanor.

  Below, the seats are arranged in order, with eighteen seats on both sides of the front, all of which are emerald green gold seats, and are the eighteen clan leader seats. Now, however, they are empty, with only a few people sitting in them. On the back row of seats, there are more than ten elderly people with silver spiritual patterns on their sleeves, who sit upright and solemnly.

  One of the elders stood up and said, "Chief, recently a group of evil creatures appeared near Qinglong Mountain, robbing and kidnapping people at will. In the town, there have been cases where livestock and people have lost all their blood for no reason. I suspect that there may be some kind of demon or evil spirit causing chaos in Qinglong Town."

  "Qinglong Town? This Qinglong Mountain and Qinglong Ancient Town are at the junction of our forces and the Ice Palace, it seems to be a bit tricky to handle!" Jun Yuanyun rubbed his brow, feeling quite troubled, as he had never been good at handling such trivial matters.

  Qinglong Mountain is the intersection of two forces. Behind Qinglong Mountain, there are many rare flowers and herbs in the mountains, often gathering people to collect medicine, forming a town. However, there are often evil spirits making trouble, going down the mountain to plunder and eat blood.

  In recent years, your humble Master Qianguo sat in this place, and few villains dared to stir up trouble.

  Don't look at you wearing a dignified Confucian robe, a blue shirt like a scholar. In the outside world,

  541b Qing, however, has the nickname "Green Devil". This is because his methods are extremely cruel, often extracting souls and refining spirits. He also loves to raise poisonous insects and flowers. Once caught by him, it's feared that one can't escape the pain of being bitten by his poisonous insects.

  Just as Junqing was about to make a breakthrough to the fourth stage and return to Lianyun Villa, these evil demons began to stir again.

  The white-clad beauty on the back seat saw that he was in a bit of trouble, her willow eyebrows moved, and she was about to speak, but before she could even open her mouth, suddenly a black-clad young man lightly entered from the side door. Immediately, her phoenix eyes shone brightly, and she measured him up and down before leaning over to whisper something in the ear of the Great Bandit Chief.

  The red-robed, cloud-attired Master of the Great Hall glanced slightly at the beautiful woman smiling lightly beside him, then turned his head again, staring at the black-clad youth who had just entered. A fiery red light flashed in his eyes as he suddenly said:

  "Go for it!"

  You were taken aback by the sudden mention of your name. You abruptly lifted your head, meeting the inquiring gaze of the leader of the bandits, a hint of surprise flashing across your face. After taking another glance at the beautiful woman standing beside the leader, you couldn't help but feel a sense of understanding. You gently closed your eyes, considered for a moment, and then nodded

  "I'd like to take a trip."

  Qinglong Mountain, you have no name but I've heard of it early. The main mountain range of Qinglong Mountain is about one million miles long, with layers upon layers, strange peaks rising one after another, and ancient trees covering the sky. There are many rare flowers and weeds in the mountains, but there are also poisonous obstacles and demons roaming around, with few human settlements.

  Running through the northern boundary of Lianyun Village and connecting with the Bingxue Palace in Qinghe County, it is a natural barrier between two major forces.

  Qinglong Ancient Town and Taoshan Ancient Town are generally located at the foot of the mountain.

  You have no name, but you've long been yearning for this place. The Misty Forest is indeed perilous and not suitable for a cultivator like him who has just broken through to the second stage of Mirror Shattering. Qinglong Mountain, on the other hand, happens to meet his requirements, so he agreed after some thought.

  Cold wind whisks away in the golden sunlight, transforming into unique cloud halos, ten thousand acres of clouds unfolding at the horizon to create endless splendor.

  After leaving the council hall, he greeted each of the passing elders one by one, made some slight preparations, and then Jun Wuming was ready to set off.

  Just as he was about to leave the great hall's martial arts arena, Jun Wú Míng had no choice but to stop in his tracks.

  Helplessly gazing at the big eyes blinking in front of me with a pouting mouth little girl

  You have no name, with a helpless look on your face. This little girl is the personal maid of the beautiful woman Lin Hong, and grew up with you, You Wu, You Wei, and You Wu, the three of you were childhood playmates;

  There are two people with the surname Lin. The one in front is called Lin Xiuer, and the other is Lin Bier. Although their status is different, they are like brothers and sisters to each other.

  "A gift?"

  Looking at the small and lovely little girl in front of me, pouting her pink lips and stretching out her small jade-like hands.

  You smiled wryly, and accidentally bumped into this little devil, considering yourself unlucky. Running into this little demoness, it seems that not shedding some blood is out of the question. However, as thoughts turned over in his mind, another thought surged up instead.

  "Xiū ér, look, this time I really didn't bring a gift. Can you forgive your brother this time? Next time I'll definitely make it up to you."

  You have no name, your hands are slightly clenched, a awkward smile on your face, not as calm as before, comforting the mischievous little girl in front of you, this time don't even think about going out.

  "Bad Third Brother, every time you only think of Bi'er sister, every time you only remember Bi'er sister. I don't care, last time you also only gave gifts to Bi'er sister, what about mine?"

  The little girl looked unhappy, puffed out her round cheeks and stared at the black-clad youth, afraid he would run away.

  You have no name, but in your heart you are secretly resentful. The heavens and the earth have a conscience. Last time, he even turned over the bottom of Li Ming Pond, only to find one mature Li Ming pearl, which happened to be seen by Lin Bi'er. So, he handed it over to Lin Bi'er with ease. Who would have thought that the little devil in front of him knew about it and stubbornly pursued him for half a month until now?

  Looking at the situation in front of him, Jun Wuming had a headache. This little girl's entanglement was quite fierce. His eyes rolled, and his right hand quietly moved back, secretly operating the divine water way technique. A cold air quickly took shape in his hands, with his heart as the furnace and Xuan Yin as the carbon.

  In just a few breaths, he had completed a small, exquisite handicraft. Yet, his words were: "Xiūér, this time brother forgot, next time I'll definitely remember. Look at your sister Bì'ěr, how gentle and well-behaved she is."

  "Waaah, brother only knows how to bully me. I'm not gentle at all and not as obedient as Bi Jie. You all don't like me."

  The little girl stopped immediately, rubbing her small hands like snow jade to wipe away tears, sobbing and running out.

  Look at this little girl crying, Jun Wuming's heart is bitter, and now the game is over. He moved his body to block the little girl's way, coaxing her while taking out the Youshui Qinglian he picked earlier.

  A flash of cyan light, and a palm-sized jade box revealed a delicate, pale blue lotus flower radiating a soft, ethereal glow. In the warm sunlight, it swayed gently, its petals dancing in the breeze as waves of fragrance wafted through the air. The disciples in the training hall were all invigorated, as if their strength had increased by threefold, and the purifying effect on their minds was evident.

  This lotus was originally picked by Jun Wuming in the medicine garden next to the Xuan Yin spiritual vein. At that time, the Xuan Yin spiritual vein's energy leaked out, and the Taishang elder rushed to check on it but didn't notice that a small opening had been made in the seal of the medicine garden connected to the Xuan Yin spiritual vein's seal. Jun Wuming took advantage of this and stole two lotus flowers from the pond inside, along with several precious medicinal materials. It's likely that the Taishang elder has already discovered this by now and is furious.

  In fact, when Lin Ji, the elder, first discovered that the medicine garden had been robbed, he was furious with Jun Wuming and naturally didn't want to go and reason with him. Regardless of their blood relationship, it would be a loss of face for him.

  However, there is a saying that children pay for their father's debts. That elder had gone to the Qing family's old mansion several times, but unfortunately, Master Qing was not available as he was in closed-door meditation. The bamboo stick hadn't been used yet, and he was feeling depressed at heart. This time, by the river, he had been holding back this stifling energy, so when he saw Jun Wuming rush to the Red Sun Gate, not only did he not remind him, but he also took advantage of the opportunity to drag away another elder, wanting to add some trouble for Jun Wuming.

  As for the matter of taking medicine from Yao Yuan, Jun Wuming didn't feel a bit ashamed. After all, it was his great-grandfather's place and he didn't need to be polite with family members. However, Jun Wuming wasn't being excessive either, as these few medicinal herbs weren't rare in the Medicine Garden.

  Looking at the little girl in front of him who was laughing and crying, Jun Wuming let out a gentle breath. "Xiu Er, this is a specially made Xuan Yin Jade Hairpin for you by your brother. Don't look down on its subtle glow, it's not an ordinary object. If one gets hurt by the glow on this hairpin, they will not only be frozen all over their body but also have their soul corroded. This is for your self-defense, but don't worry, this hairpin won't harm you. I've infused a strand of your aura into it, and after a slight refinement, you can use it."

  The little girl's eyebrows opened and she smiled, so the nameless gentleman hastily presented her with a newly made Xuan Yin ice crystal hairpin to prevent her from telling on him again.

  She burst into laughter, the little girl's rosy face slightly revealed a hint of shyness, rubbing her bright red eyes, a green jade token appeared in her palm, hastily stuffed it into Jun Wuming's bosom, lightly stomped her small foot, twisted her waist and ran away. A soft and crisp voice came from afar: "This is what the mistress asked me to give you, be careful!"

  You are nameless and only feel confused, looking at the escaping little girl. This little girl is sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy, what does she want to do?

  Shake off the messy thoughts in his mind, come back to his senses, lightly pinch the jade symbol with two fingers, slightly infuse spiritual power, a message flows into his mind from the jade symbol, Jun Wuming's expression becomes solemn.

  As expected, this Qinglong Mountain matter is not simple!
