Chapter 250

Chapter 250: Don’t You Know You’re Very Famous Now?
“Only twenty years?”

Bai Ling was stunned.

If he had not heard this with his own ears, he would never have believed it.

Everyone knew that the cultivation speed of a demonic beast and that of a cultivator were worlds apart.

What a cultivator could achieve in a dozen years, a demonic beast might need decades, or even hundreds of years, to reach.

Even though Quan Ye had half Human Race blood, from his Body Tempering Path alone it could be seen that the bloodline that truly dominated in his body was the other half.

Because of that, Master Qing Yan’s estimate was completely reasonable, and even far beyond what anyone would normally expect.

After his shock, Bai Ling quickly understood that Quan Ye’s talent was too terrifying. His body could no longer bear it, which was why this situation had appeared.

Bai Ling fell into deep thought.

Master Qing Yan did not urge him, and calmly waited for him to make a decision.

A long time later, Bai Ling finally gave his answer: “Qing Yan, I can reforge his spiritual roots for him, but you must let him stay with the Demon Race. This is where he should be.”

“If he is willing to stay, I will not stop him.”

“Good, I will convince him.”

Bai Ling believed that as long as Quan Ye woke up and understood how noble the blood in his body was, he would not return to the Five Elements Dao Sect.

Even if the Five Elements Dao Sect was a sacred land that all cultivators dreamed of, for Quan Ye, who carried the blood of a demonic beast, Spirit Mountain was his best home.

“I still need to prepare some spirit herbs. You and…”

Bai Ling looked at Su Ming and suddenly remembered that he did not know Su Ming’s name yet.

Su Ming quickly introduced himself: “Junior Su Ming, ranked third among Master Qing Yan’s personal disciples.”

Bai Ling nodded and said: “You and Su Ming can rest on Spirit Mountain for a few days. Once I have prepared everything, I will be able to perform Marrow Cleansing and Bone Forging for Quan Ye.”

Master Qing Yan gladly agreed.

Although Spirit Mountain was the territory of the demonic beasts, there were still a few houses built at the summit. It was just that no one lived in them normally, so they had become rather worn down.

Before Master Qing Yan and Su Ming moved in, Bai Mei brought a few clansmen to clean and decorate the houses again, making them look completely new.

Master Qing Yan walked into the room and sat down on a reclining chair woven from vines. His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest as his gaze grew deep.

Ever since they were about to reach Spirit Mountain, the spirit soul in his Sea of Consciousness had been unusually quiet, not coming out to make trouble for once.

This made Master Qing Yan feel at ease, but also a little suspicious.

He kept feeling that the soul was holding itself back in secret, waiting to stir up some trouble.

“Qing Yan, I told you that you and I were originally one. Hurting you is the same as hurting myself.”

The voice of the spirit soul sounded right on cue.

Master Qing Yan’s voice was cold: “The cultivation world does not need two Qing Yans. If you do not leave, you will die. There is no other possibility.”

The spirit soul fell silent again, whether it was frightened by Master Qing Yan’s words or because it already had its own plan in mind.

A hint of anger flashed through Master Qing Yan’s eyes, but it quickly calmed down again.

One day, he would personally wipe out this thing that dared to spy on his thoughts.

…

Nine Abyss Secret Realm.

Amid shrill screams, the heart devil was destroyed.

The vicissitudes of many trials surged in Yu Zhao’s eyes.

She looked around at the bare stone walls and felt a sense of relief, as if waking from a long dream.

It was finally over.

The Heart Devil Tribulation had been a thousand, ten thousand times more terrifying than she had expected.

If she had not lived two lives and tempered an unshakable mind, she would probably have lost herself in the endless cycle of reincarnation and become a walking corpse with a confused mind.

Fortunately, everything was already over.

Nascent Soul, great completion.

Yu Zhao sat quietly in the stone cave for three days, adjusting her state of mind.

When she had recovered, she left seclusion, found Yao Wu Jiand Si Tu Xuan, and told the two of them that she was about to leave.

The two first expressed their congratulations, then invited Yu Zhao to visit their territories when she had time.

Only after Yu Zhao agreed did they let her go.

After Yu Zhao left the Nine Abyss Secret Realm, her goal was clear. She went straight toward Spirit Mountain.

She needed to verify her guess.

The Nine Abyss Secret Realm was less than five days away from Spirit Mountain. With Yu Zhao traveling at full speed, she arrived at the foot of Spirit Mountain in only three days.

A white peacock descended gracefully from the sky and spoke human words: “Up ahead is the core land of my White Peacock Clan. Who are you?”

“Yu Zhao of the Five Elements Dao Sect, here to request an audience with Clan Chief Bai Ling.”

“You are also from the Five Elements Dao Sect?”

The white peacock flapped its wings. In the blink of an eye, it transformed from a peacock into a beautiful young woman dressed in white.

“Also?”

Yu Zhao thought to herself: [This is bad.]

It seemed she had come a step too late.

“Your sect’s Master Qing Yan and Fellow Daoist Su are currently guests on Spirit Mountain. You did not know?”

Suspicion flashed in Bai Mei’s eyes.

“I did not know, but I have urgent business and must see Clan Chief Bai Ling. Please, Fellow Daoist, help me pass on the message.”

“The chieftain has no time to see you right now. Come back later.”

Bai Mei shook her head and refused.

Ever since the chieftain had met Master Qing Yan that day, he had not appeared for many days, and Bai Mei did not dare go to disturb him.

“If I said I know news of a descendant of the Azure Dragon Clan, would Clan Chief Bai Ling be willing to see me?”

Yu Zhao’s words successfully stopped Bai Mei, who had been about to leave.

Her expression turned excited, and she asked: “What did you say? You really know the whereabouts of the Azure Dragon Clan?”

Yu Zhao corrected her: “It is a descendant of the Azure Dragon Clan.”

“I know.” Confidence lit up Bai Mei’s eyes. “Come, I will take you to see the chieftain right now.”

She took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Yu Zhao with a serious gaze: “You had better not lie to me. The White Peacock Clan hates lies and deception the most.”

“Good, so do I.”

Yu Zhao smiled slightly.

Seeing this, the doubt in Bai Mei’s heart completely disappeared.

“Come with me.”

She tapped lightly with the tip of her foot and moved like the wind, fast and silent.

On the way, Yu Zhao asked that they avoid Master Qing Yan and Su Ming.

Although Bai Mei did not understand, she still led Yu Zhao onto a small path only the White Peacock Clan knew about.

When they reached the chieftain’s lair, before Bai Mei could even announce their arrival, she was forced back by a demon wind that Bai Ling sent out.

Bai Mei knew this was the chieftain warning her not to disturb him.

But thinking of the news Yu Zhao had brought, she still braced herself and stepped forward to report: “Chieftain, Bai Mei has an important matter to report. It is about…”

Before she could say the words “Azure Dragon Clan”, Bai Mei was once again swept back.

To give her a small punishment, Bai Ling even sealed Bai Mei’s mouth, making her jump around in anxiety.

In the end, it was Yu Zhao who endured the pressure and stepped forward: “Clan Chief Bai Ling, I know the whereabouts of a descendant of the Azure Dragon Clan.”

“Hm?”

Before the words had even faded, Bai Ling’s figure suddenly appeared.

His scrutinizing gaze fell on Yu Zhao. A moment later, he suddenly laughed: “So it is you.”

Yu Zhao and Bai Mei both froze.

From Bai Ling’s tone, did he know Yu Zhao?

“The champion of the Cultivation World Grand Tournament who openly provoked the little brat under Master Qing Yan. You do not know how famous you are now?”

Although Bai Ling had not gone to watch the Cultivation World Grand Tournament himself, he had always paid attention to news about the competition.

He had started paying attention to Yu Zhao even before she took first place.

Later, he collected some information about her and came to know her quite well.

“The descendant of the Azure Dragon Clan you spoke of is Quan Ye, right? He is on Spirit Mountain right now. You will be able to see him soon.”
