Chapter 1517 440: Yan Family Secret Technique—How Could They All Be Him!

"Zhou Qing?!"

The face that appeared at this moment was none other than Zhou Qing, the coveted figure of Nanhuang State, who possessed two Inscription-level Divine Techniques!

The scene flickered and disappeared.

Yan Wudao abruptly turned his head to Yan Wuming, who snapped out of his daze and quickly activated the Imaging Stone.

The projected image was unmistakably Zhou Qing!

"Could it be Zhou Qing who killed Sen'Er?" Yan Wudao's voice was cold and sinister.

Yan Wuming frowned and said, "Brother, Sen'Er was traveling with Yan Weiyi back then."

"One was mid-stage Spirit Severing, the other late-stage Spirit Severing; Zhou Qing, even now, is only at mid-stage Spirit Severing cultivation. How could he have killed them both in such a short time?"

"Regardless, this kid must know the inside story!" Murderous intent flashed in Yan Wudao's eyes, "Even if we have to dig three feet underground, we must find him!"

Everyone responded in agreement.

Then, Yan Wudao turned to Yan Luo's parents: "Yan Mie, Blood Rakshasa, prepare!"

The two had long been impatient and immediately imitated the former, releasing their Essence Blood.

Yan Wudao followed suit, and the second Soul Lamp suddenly churned with black mist, soon forming a second image—

A face of a stranger, about forty years old.

But everyone present instantly recognized the true identity of this face: Master Qingzhou, the Tributor of the Shen Family!

No, to be precise, it was Zhou Qing in disguise!

The hall was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Who could have thought that the death of the Yan family's two prodigies was linked to Zhou Qing!

"Good! Very good!" Yan Wudao laughed furiously.

He looked around at everyone, stopping briefly on the tearful eyes of Yan Sen and Yan Luo's parents, and said coldly, "Pass down the order, whatever it takes, capture Zhou Qing alive!"

"We follow the ancestor's decree!" everyone replied in unison, their killing intent soaring!

Just then, Yan Wuming, the Yan Family's Fifth Ancestor, seemed to sense something, and suddenly took out a Communication Jade Scroll, moments later his eyes gleamed!

"Brother!" he immediately cupped his fists in salute, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, "I have a message from an old acquaintance—he has seen Sen'Er and Yan Weiyi in person at a certain place! They even went forward to pay their respects!"

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was in uproar!

Yan Sen and Yan Luo's parents rushed forward instantly, their voices almost hoarse: "Fifth Ancestor! Where? Where did they see them?!"

Yan Wuming's gaze was sharp as lightning, slowly sweeping over everyone, and he declared word by word:

"Fourth-level Cultivation Country—"

"Holy! Martial! Dynasty!"

...

Three months later, Celestial Wave City!

When Zhou Qing's figure reappeared in this city, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

At first, he and Yaoyao had come full of high spirits.

Now, only he was left, carrying a bamboo basket, with the little one sleeping soundly as he embarked on the journey home.

He looked back at the Teleportation Array he had personally repaired and exhaled a deep breath.

Then he turned and sped towards the ancient Teleportation Array that would take him three days to reach.

"Yaoyao..."

The Flying Ship pierced through the air as Zhou Qing gently caressed the bamboo basket, a gentle smile on his lips.

"We—are going home."

Before his words had faded, the Flying Ship suddenly accelerated, turning into a stream of light disappearing at the horizon's edge...

...

Holy Martial Dynasty, Eastern Domain, Taiqing Sect!

A hundred and seventy years have gone by, Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang's hair is now frosted with snow.

Time has carved deep furrows on his face, and those once sharp eyes have now become cloudy.

Not only him—the Peak Masters of the Thirteen Peaks have all grown old and weary.

They were originally at the late stage of the Divinity Transformation Realm, with little life span remaining.

But with Zhou Qing and Master Canglong's help, they used the Yin Spirit Stone to break through to Great Perfection.

However, even with this improved cultivation, the life span of the entire Divinity Transformation stage could no longer be extended.

Until half a year ago—

Elder Jiang Pu, who watched over the Soul Lamp Tower, stumbled into the grand hall, clutching a extinguished Soul Lamp with his withered hands.

His body trembled like a sieve, his lips were pale, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Because that lamp belonged to Lu Yaoyao.

The most painful part of the journey of cultivation is for the old to see off the young.

What exactly happened?

Where is Zhou Qing?

Unfortunately, there was no Soul Lamp of Zhou Qing in the sect.

He and Yaoyao went together to the Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty, so where are they now?

Are they dead or alive?

It truly is worrying!
