Chapter 2627: Cause and Effect

“Since there’s nothing to talk about, let’s just settle it on our own terms.

As Li Qingyun spoke, the black light of the long sword in his hand lit up, and a vortex gradually formed.

Seeing this, Ren Ren stretched his head forward and looked at Li Qingyun's sword with suspicion.

Although Li Qingyun saw that the opponent was not gathering momentum, he did not intend to stop.

Since they are all one of the variables, no matter who absorbs the snake beast cub, it will not change the outcome in any way.

In this way, when both parties are unwilling to give up, they can only defeat or kill the other party!

But just before Li Qingyun took action, Ren Ran suddenly asked: "Guanri?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Qingyun almost stumbled and looked at the other party in astonishment.

Seeing his reaction, I just stared and continued to test: "I love that you are skilled with swords and horses, well versed in poetry and calligraphy, and a brave young man..."

Li Qingyun was stunned when he heard this, and blurted out and sang: "I followed you through the world, slept in the open air, and suffered all kinds of hardships in the world..."

Ren Ren flashed through the vortex that penetrated the sun and said in surprise: "I'm going, Brother Li!?"

Li Qingyun was stunned again: "Who are you?"

Ren Ren quickly pulled off the disguise on his face and pinched his waist with a smile: "Who else can be so handsome? Of course he is the second elder of my Qingshan Sect!"

Seeing Ren Ren's familiar but slightly aged face, Li Qingyun also took off the disguise on his face and said dullly: "What are you doing, are you in the late stage of Saint Lord?"

Ren Ren chuckled: "No, actually it's only the middle stage of the Saint King.

With that said, he released his avenue tree.

The eight eternal avenues above shone with silver light, and another one was made of black light.

Seeing this real realm, Li Qingyun was shocked and said: "What era have you fallen into? How come you have entered so many realms?"

Ren Zhizhi calculated it with his fingers and said, "It's been almost ten thousand years since now."

As soon as he said this, Li Qingyun couldn't help curling his lips: "For more than 10,000 years, from cultivating the Saint to the middle stage of the Saint King, are you lying to me?"

Ren Ren glared: "Hey, don't believe it, I am now very proficient in the use of Time Dao!"

Li Qingyun asked: "Then you don't go into the river of time and come to find me, but you insist on looking for me in the underworld?"

Ren Ran scratched his head: "Ahem, I don't want to be a brother. The main reason is that the cost of entering the river of time is too high. Even if I cross the river of time again to find you, I'm afraid it will take a while to cultivate."

"In this case, I might as well stay here and practice. After all, as long as I look for opportunities from all walks of life, I will meet you sooner or later!"

Li Qingyun rolled his eyes at him: "Hey, you are talking as if I am a robber who robs everything I see."

After hearing this, Ren Ren observed Li Qingyun carefully for a while and said: "Holy Lord, how long have you fallen into the river of time?"

Li Qingyun was startled: "Well, it will take three or four days.

Hearing this, Ren Ren pointed disdainfully at the snake beast cub at his feet: "Well, counting the time you spent squatting on this thing, did you snatch it away at the first opportunity you encountered?"

Li Qingyun turned his head in embarrassment: "This doesn't count. Anyway, even if I don't take action, this guy will be poisoned by the people of the sacrificial group. You might as well improve my physical strength for me."

After hearing this explanation, Ren Ren couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..."

When Li Qingyun heard the sound, he quickly fell down and patted the snake beast cub: "How to divide it?"

Ren Ren followed and thought for a while, then said: "If I remember correctly, it was previously recorded in the Qiao family's classics that although this thing was targeted by the immortal clan, it was still robbed by strong men from all clans."

"After the powerful men from all races present killed those Immortal Lords, they scrambled to get the snake beast cubs, but in the end no one could get them."

"But afterwards, the strong men of the Qiao clan were unable to find the whereabouts of the snake beast cubs, leaving only the diluted snake beast essence and blood in place."

"Later, an adult snake beast suddenly appeared in the secret realm of snake transformation. It stimulated the essence and blood of the dragon pond with great power and recast the snake beast egg."

Li Qingyun raised his eyebrows: "Is it the one I blew up later?"

Ren nodded: "It should be, but the strange thing is not this."

"What I've always been curious about is that the adult snake beasts in the past clearly died long ago, so where did the adult snake beasts that appeared later come from?"

"In other words, the cub we captured is the adult snake beast we saw in the secret realm of snake transformation."

Li Qingyun exclaimed: "No way... If we kill it now, won't we be able to avoid this possibility?"

Ren shook his head: "It's hard to say, because I have tried it many times before, and I can't change the history of each node."

"Ah?" Li Qingyun was a little curious: "Why do you want to try to change the past? Aren't you afraid of karma?"

Ren shook his head: "It's not that simple to change the past. Even if there are differences in the outcome of the incident, it will definitely be resolved at a certain point in the future. To truly change the past, I'm afraid we don't have enough power."

Hearing this, Li Qingyun couldn't help but glance at the snake beast cub that was tied into a rice dumpling.

"But, what does this have to do with whether we kill the snake beast?" Li Qingyun asked.

Ren Ran patted the baby snake beast: "I mean, what if, if this guy is really the adult snake beast behind, then we probably won't be able to kill him."

Li Qingyun drew out the Qingfeng Sword and frowned at the body of the snake beast cub: "I don't believe it, what else could happen to this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingyun immediately prepared to kill the snake beast cub.

Unexpectedly, the long sword in his hand was blocked by a gray light as soon as it was extended.

Li Qingyun looked at Ren You suspiciously: "Why are you stopping me?"

Ren You glanced upwards and did not answer.

Li Qingyun looked back and saw a person wearing sacrificial group clothes standing in the sky, watching this scene indifferently.

Seeing the newcomer, Li Qingyun was stunned: "The Tenth Priest?"

Li Qingyun put away his sword and looked at him suspiciously: "Priest, why are you here when you are not in the Qiao Clan?"

The Tenth Priest squinted his eyes and looked at Li Qingyun, and said slowly: "The snake beast is a creature of our Nether Clan. As the two of you are from the Spirit Clan, you are stretching your hands too far."

"In addition..." The Tenth Priest pointed at Li Qingyun: "Why do you have the will of the Netherworld?"

Li Qingyun immediately straightened his chest and answered: "Because I am the son of the Netherworld."

The Tenth Priest's body stiffened obviously when he heard this, and suspicion and confusion flashed in his eyes. He frowned and said: "The son of the Netherworld?"

Li Qingyun nodded and released the Netherworld power.

The breath of the Luohou totem rose up, and the Tenth Priest's eyes widened in an instant: "How is it possible, you are clearly a spirit race..."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately took out a set of magic weapons and rang them, and the pale green streak rushed straight towards the two of them.

The two of them quickly dodged when they saw this, but they didn't expect that the streak didn't aim at them at the beginning, but instead covered the snake beast cub directly after touching it, sealing it in place.

The tenth priest said coldly: "No matter who you are, whether you are a spirit or a ghost, this thing should be handed over to the sacrificial group for processing."

After saying that, he raised his hand and crushed a jade slip.

Li Qingyun frowned when he saw this: "He is asking the high priest to take action, so go first and make plans later."

Ren Ran heard this and tried to catch the snake beast cub but failed, and then immediately used the escape light to escape with Li Qingyun.
