#783 - Protective, strong leader
783
Merely half an hour after the news was sent out, two figures appeared outside the collapsed Nine Heavens Mountain gate.
One was dressed in plain clothes with a face like jade, and the other wore a long black robe.
It was Qin Changqing and his black-robed doppelganger.
“Who are you two?”
A group of immortals who were repairing the mountain gate turned their heads and were immediately startled by the two figures that suddenly appeared.
The black-robed doppelganger stood with his hands behind his back, silent, exuding an aura of profound mystery.
Qin Changqing smiled and cupped his hands, saying, “The Immortal Saint invited me to come, please inform her!”
The Immortal Saint invited you?
The immortals looked suspicious and sized them up.
Although Qin Changqing was already an Immortal King at this moment, he was still a fresh face, and although the cultivation of an Immortal King was not low, frankly speaking, it was nothing special in the Nine Heavens.
Someone questioned, “Where do you two come from? Please reveal your identities!”
Qin Changqing sighed and said helplessly, “I am the father of Jade Immortal Xue. I just received a message saying that the Immortal Saint invited me to come. Is there no such thing?”
The father of Jade Immortal Maiden?
The immortals were immediately shocked.
Really?
It had only been half an hour since the previous battle, how could people already be here?
Could it be that they were already within the Nine Heavens range before?
Although they were suspicious, no one dared to delay any longer, and someone immediately turned around to report.
Soon, Immortal Saint Qiu Hongjun, who received the news, also showed a surprised expression and came to greet them in person with Qin Qiming and others.
“Dad!”
“Master!”
“Alliance Leader!”
Seeing the two, Qin Qiming and others immediately showed joyful expressions and rushed forward to pay their respects.
Qin Changqing looked at the children with a smile, showing a look of relief: “Your cultivation is almost at the Immortal King realm, not bad, not bad!”
Then he cupped his hands and looked at Qiu Hongjun, smiling: “You must be the Immortal Saint, I've troubled you all these years!”
Qiu Hongjun slowly landed, her eyes swept over the two with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, and a shock that was difficult to express flashed in her eyes.
She found that she could not detect the specific cultivation of the black-robed man at all. The other party's aura was like a black hole, capable of swallowing everything, giving people a terrifying feeling of unfathomable depth.
As for Qin Changqing, he also surprised her extremely. This person's aptitude was obviously terribly low, but he had actually reached the Immortal King realm!
Even with her experience, she had never heard of a low-grade spiritual root being able to cultivate to such an extent.
Let alone an Immortal King, it would be a luxury for such a talent to be able to cultivate into an immortal, right?
“Master, Master!”
Jade Immortal Xue pulled Qiu Hongjun's arm and reminded her, “My dad is talking to you!”
“Oh, oh!”
Only then did Qiu Hongjun come back to her senses, restrain the shock in her eyes, and reached out to invite them: “As the master of Qiming and the others, these are all things I should do, please come in!”
The surrounding immortals secretly looked at this side, and couldn't help showing surprise.
They rarely saw the Immortal Saint show such a kind attitude. They didn't know if it was an illusion, but they even felt that the Immortal Saint was… a little humble at this moment!
Although they also couldn't detect the specific cultivation of this black-robed doppelganger, they didn't think that the Immortal Saint couldn't detect it either.
Who is the Immortal Saint?
That is one of the five beings standing at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm!
Their cultivation has reached the point where all immortals look up to them. In their impression, the Five Saints are the most powerful people in the world!
How could anyone be stronger than the Five Saints?
Qin Changqing and the black-robed doppelganger followed the Immortal Saint all the way to the main hall.
After taking their seats, Qiu Hongjun directly ordered: “Bring that kid over here!”
Soon, an Immortal Emperor brought Zong Jue into the hall. As soon as he saw Qin Changqing and the black-robed doppelganger, Zong Jue immediately showed joy, and the big stone hanging in his heart also fell.
In the impression of everyone in the Evergreen Alliance, as long as the Alliance Leader is there, all problems will be solved.
So what if it's an Immortal Saint?
The Alliance Leader is invincible!
Qiu Hongjun waved his hand and said: “Since Immortal Friend Changqing has already come, I will keep my word, you can leave!”
The Immortal Emperor immediately released his control over Zong Jue, and Zong Jue quickly slipped behind the black-robed doppelganger.
Qin Changqing looked at Qiu Hongjun and said: “Saint, just now the children sent me a message, but the matter was not explained clearly, what exactly is going on?”
Qiu Hongjun glanced at Qin Qiming and others, and then told the story again.
After listening, Qin Changqing's eyes suddenly turned cold, he swept across the audience, and said lightly: “I wonder who is the Immortal Saint's eldest disciple, Chu Yuanzheng?”
Chu Yuanzheng, who had already recovered from his injuries with Tianquan, frowned suddenly and took a step forward proudly: “That's me!”
Qin Changqing didn't care about Qiu Hongjun's presence, and the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised: “You dare to hit my children, you have a lot of guts!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall except Qin Qiming and others was stunned, and even Qiu Hongjun showed a look of astonishment.
What does he mean?
This guy actually dares to reprimand her disciple in front of the Immortal Saint?
Chu Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: “What are you, dare to talk to me like that!”
He is the dignified eldest disciple of the Immortal Saint, with a respected status, even in the entire Immortal Realm, he can definitely be regarded as an important figure.
He had been aggrieved enough today, almost dying at the hands of Qin Qiming and others, and now he was even reprimanded by an outsider, how could he endure it!
Qiu Hongjun also frowned, her face a little unsightly.
No matter how useless Chu Yuanzheng is, he is still her disciple, what qualifications do others have to teach him a lesson!
“Immortal Friend Changqing, Yuanzheng is actually thinking of Immortal Xue, and doesn't want anyone to ruin her reputation…” Qiu Hongjun glanced at the black-robed doppelganger sitting not far away and explained.
Qin Changqing looked indifferent and said lightly: “Immortal Xue has always cherished her reputation, as for who she likes and who she chooses, that is her freedom. This child Zong Jue is not bad. If he can really be with Immortal Xue, I will not object. Besides, when is it other people's turn to point fingers at my Qin family's affairs, and even attack my children? Saint, you need to give me an explanation for this matter!”
Give you an explanation?
Everyone thought they had heard wrong.
Let the Immortal Saint give him an explanation?
What Immortal Realm joke is this!
Why should the dignified Immortal Saint give you an explanation?
To put it nicely, you are the father of Qin Qiming and others. It is already a great honor for the Immortal Saint to condescend to come and greet you. Besides, Chu Yuanzheng had already been beaten like a dead dog before, almost losing his life. What explanation do you still want?
The immortals all felt that Qin Changqing was crazy, a bit of taking an inch after being given a foot.
Qiu Hongjun's face also sank, and she said coldly: “This is not something that Immortal Friend Changqing needs to worry about. Yuanzheng is my disciple, how to teach him is my business!”
Suddenly, the black-robed doppelganger, who had not spoken all along, suddenly spoke, his voice low, and indifferently said: “Little girl, since you are unwilling to take action, then this seat will help you!”
As soon as the words fell, the black-robed doppelganger suddenly lightly raised his right hand and pointed in the air at Chu Yuanzheng.
Without any fluctuations of immortal energy, Chu Yuanzheng revealed a mocking smile, about to utter a sarcastic remark, when suddenly, with a *plop*, he knelt on the ground. His entire body stiffened in place, his expression twisted.
All eyes fell upon him, and they were shocked to discover that Chu Yuanzheng's eyes had turned completely black, as if two blazing black flames were burning within them.
Qiu Hongjun's expression changed drastically. She flashed to Chu Yuanzheng's side, quickly placing her hand on his shoulder to investigate, and then revealed an expression of disbelief.
She was horrified to discover that Chu Yuanzheng's divine soul had actually vanished!
How could this be possible?
In all her years of cultivation, she had never heard of anyone being able to take away a person's divine soul from a distance, and she hadn't even sensed the slightest fluctuation of immortal energy.
How exactly did he do it?
Qiu Hongjun looked back at the black-robed doppelganger with a face full of horror and asked, "Where did his divine soul go?"
The black-robed doppelganger said indifferently, "He is, after all, your disciple. I will give you some face. This time, it's just a minor punishment as a warning. He won't die!"
Qin Qiming and the others also looked curious at this moment.
It was also the first time they had seen the alliance master use such methods.
As for Chu Yuanzheng, his divine soul had already been dragged into a boundless dark world, a world completely constructed of black flames. The burning black flames constantly roasted his divine soul, and the extreme pain it brought was simply unbearable.
These black flames twisted and surged, sometimes transforming into sharp knives and blades, sometimes transforming into black hands, constantly piercing and tearing his divine soul.
However, these flames also seemed to possess incredible restorative power. His divine soul was tortured in this way, even torn into pieces, yet it could be healed in the next moment, repeatedly, endlessly.
Here, there seemed to be no concept of time or space. He was constantly reincarnated here, experiencing unparalleled extreme pain.
This place was the Black Flame Hell, which had been upgraded several times!
He didn't know how long had passed, but although Chu Yuanzheng's divine soul was still intact, he had been tortured to the point of losing his mind. Most importantly, the divine soul was different from the physical body. After experiencing unbearable pain, the physical body would develop a self-preservation mechanism and fall into a coma.
But the divine soul would not. This extreme pain could only be endured, not relieved!
Finally, a vortex opened, and the surrounding flames once again transformed into large hands, grabbing Chu Yuanzheng's divine soul and throwing it directly into the vortex.
Inside the main hall.
The blackness in Chu Yuanzheng's eyes slowly receded, and his entire body instantly trembled like a sieve. An expression of extreme fear appeared on his face, and he let out a sharp, piercing roar: "No, don't come over! Please, let me go, let me go!!"
This immediately shocked everyone. Even Qiu Hongjun's pupils shrank. She quickly held Chu Yuanzheng down and carefully examined him, but found that his divine soul was the same as before, without any damage.
In Chu Yuanzheng's eyes, he had already experienced countless years, constantly reincarnating in pain.
But in the eyes of others, Chu Yuanzheng had only lost his mind and regained consciousness in a few breaths.
How did he become like this?
"Yuanzheng, what's wrong with you? Speak!"
Qiu Hongjun grabbed Chu Yuanzheng's shoulder and forcibly restrained him with immortal energy, asking sternly.
Chu Yuanzheng seemed not to hear her words, his whole body constantly trembling. The fear in his eyes could not be suppressed at all, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. He kept roaring and screaming, and tears flowed uncontrollably down his face: "You are not human, you are not human! Get out of here! Get out — —"
There was silence in the hall. Everyone looked at the black-robed doppelganger with horror in their eyes.
What means did this mysterious black-robed man use to turn an Immortal King into this state?
Qiu Hongjun also took a deep breath, her heart pounding like a drum. The hand holding Chu Yuanzheng was trembling slightly.
Even she had never heard of such methods!
He had silently turned an Immortal King into this state. Not to mention herself, even the other four Sages could never do it.
"Senior, what exactly did you do?!"
Qiu Hongjun stared at the black-robed doppelganger, a strong sense of fear flashing in her eyes.
She had previously made some guesses about the black-robed doppelganger's cultivation and strength, but always felt that the other party might have used some unknown means to shield her divine sense. She did not believe that anyone's cultivation could be so high that it far exceeded her own.
But now, she believed it!
This person's cultivation had definitely reached a level she could not imagine!
Unmatchable!
With such cultivation and supernatural powers, even if the five Sages came out together, they would not be able to deal with him!
The black-robed doppelganger said indifferently: "I once refined a world and turned it into the void, called the Eighteen Levels of Hell. It can drag people's divine souls into it and experience the pain of boundless purgatory. In an instant, it is eternity. Just now, I dragged his divine soul into hell. There, if I want him to live, he will live; if I want him to die, he will not live! I have already given you face and spared his life!"
Eighteen Levels of Hell!
Hearing the black-robed doppelganger's description, everyone couldn't help but shudder, cold air rising from their backs.
In that case, Chu Yuanzheng had just spent who knows how long in that hell?
No wonder he became like this!
"Refining a world? How is that possible!"
An Immortal Emperor blurted out, a look of doubt in his eyes.
The black-robed doppelganger turned his head to look and said indifferently: "You don't believe me? I don't mind letting you take a trip inside!"
The Immortal Emperor immediately widened his eyes and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, Senior misunderstood. I have a foul mouth. I won't trouble you to take action!"
Take a trip?
What a joke!
He hadn't lived enough yet!
Everyone had seen Chu Yuanzheng's miserable state. At this moment, he was like a puddle of mud, slumped on the ground, still trembling and muttering. How could this be fake!
Moreover, even the Immortal Saint could not detect where Chu Yuanzheng's divine soul had just gone. Doesn't that explain the problem?
Qiu Hongjun's chest rose and fell constantly, her eyes flickering. Suddenly, she grabbed Chu Yuanzheng in the air and threw him out, shouting: "Shameful thing, take him down!"
Someone immediately caught Chu Yuanzheng and took him away. His appearance was indeed unbearable to watch.
Qiu Hongjun took a deep breath, turned to look at the black-robed doppelganger, and cupped her hands: "It is my lack of discipline. Please forgive me, Senior!"
The supernatural powers and strength displayed by the black-robed doppelganger caused Qiu Hongjun to feel a terrifying sense of oppression. She was not sure whether she could resist with her own strength. She could not gamble!
Such a person can only be befriended, never antagonized!
