Chapter 124: The Freaking Fiend Exalt (VI)

Luo Jianqing pressed his abdomen, making the Fiend Exalt confused. The next moment, a blood fruit suddenly appeared from his abdomen, during which he felt painful as if his soul was being torn. With beads of sweat rolling down from his forehead, Luo Jianqing’s face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and finally separated the fruit from his body.

Blood oozed from his mouth. Now, Luo Jianqing understood why his master asked him to returned the fruit only when he arrived at the Fiend Palace. He was extremely weak and needed someone powerful to heal him. Besides, no one could stop the spiritual powers of the fruit from escaping from Luo Jianqing’s body.

Seeing that, the Fiend Exalt was wide-eyed with astonishment. He subconsciously forgot his status and grabbed Luo Jianqing hurriedly, “Luo Jianqing, what are you doing?”

Luo Jianqing looked pale and weak. He held the Blood Spirit Fruit with both hands and said respectfully, “I’m returning it to its rightful owner.”

The Fiend Exalt felt speechless.

After a while, the Fiend Exalt took back the Fruit. He pressed his hand against Luo Jianqing’s back to heal him. Fifteen minutes later, Luo Jianqing was completely healed, yet the Fiend Exalt didn’t leave. He asked seriously, “Do you understand that once you lose this fruit, your practice process will slow down?”

Luo Jianqing nodded slightly, “I understand.”

“Then why do you return it? Since I didn’t kill you, I don’t have the intention to take it back.”

Luo Jianqing looked up at the Fiend Exalt and replied seriously, “Sir, I’ve heard from my master that you’re trying to reach Deity Transformation Period, and the fewer you know it, the better it is for you, so I didn’t talk about it in the Main Hall. Although Dao Cultivators have always been irreconcilable with Fiend Cultivators, it will be a good fortune for human beings if you really make it. It will take me at least one or two hundred years to reach Deity Transformation Period no matter how talented I am, but you are a Fiend Cultivator, much more powerful than those at the same level. Therefore, if you can reach that period, humans can secure real and everlasting peace.”

The Fiend Exalt fell into silence.

After a long time, he asked, “If humans gain peace, then the agreement we made hundreds of years ago will be invalid, isn’t it?”

Luo Jianqing was a little bit baffled, but he still nodded after a thought, “Yes.”

“Interesting. That’s what Xuan Lingzi really aims for.”

Luo Jianqing didn’t understand his words, yet the Fiend Exalt still stayed in his room. They gazed at each other. Luo Jianqing felt that he had been through this scene for many times, but he couldn’t recall any details.

When the Fiend Exalt intended to leave, Luo Jianqing walked him to the door. Before he left, the Fiend Exalt grabbed Luo Jianqing’s left hand and pressed the center of his palm, leaving a mark there.

After the Fiend Exalt left, Luo Jianqing saw a character “Qiu” glowing with red light on his palm. He was totally confused and didn’t figure out anything about it.

“What’s wrong with him? When did he imprint his name on my hand? It’s inappropriate anyway. I have to erase it before I return to Tai Hua mountain. Maybe I can show it to Sir Yu Qingzi, she might know something about it.”

Mo Qianqiu was eavesdropping not far from him, “…”

“Damn it! I will kill you idiot!!!”

The next day, Luo Jianqing left with the elders of Tai Hua mountain. The Fiend Exalt didn’t show up again, nor did Qin Guihe, who was being punished. Instead, the right Dharmapala Qin Siyi came to see them off, who accompanied them to the foot of the Fiend Mountain and left, without saying anything.

Those Dao Cultivators were dissatisfied with his indifferent attitude, yet they didn’t say anything. After all, “thanks to” Gui Yi of the Duan Hun Sect, Qin Siyi’s innocent younger brother and lover was being punished. He had exercised great restraint and done his best not to give them bad attitude.

The team headed to the border of the Fiend Realm. Since they had been familiar with the way, they came back directly without any guide.

There was something interesting. Although Gui Yi’s hands were cut off by the Fiend Exalt, the panacea of Duan Hun Sect should have cured him already, but he hadn’t hadhis new hands back yet. It seemed that each time the panacea was about to cure the cuts, a blood- red Fiend Power would swallow it completely.

Gui Yi kept cursing the Fiend Exalt all the way.

When he was still in the Palace, he barely dared to take a deep breath and cried like a coward, but the moment he left the Palace, he could throw any bad languages he liked. His dirty words made Luo Jianqing frown. He told his younger fellow sister, “Don’t listen to these pestilential words.”

Wei Qiongyin nodded and told her considerate senior brother, “Nor do you.”

Dozens of days later, the team finally saw the big river that divided Yun state and Fiend Realm. Sir Yu Qingzi took out her flying pagoda and invited the elders of Tai Hua mountain on. Luo Jianqing was the last one to get on-he kept looking back at the Fiend Palace as he felt that he had neglected something, but failed to recall anyway.

Yu Qingzi stood under the pagoda and said, “Jianqing, get on.”

Luo Jianqing turned around. Just as he raised his leg and was about to get on, a black Fiend Qi billowed towards him and took him away!

Yu Qingzi’s eyes widened. She quickly took out her whisk and overtook it, yet the powerful Fiend Qi knocked him away, which then disappeared in the sky with Luo Jianqing.

Yu Qingzi’s eyes went red, “Jianqing!”

The master of Gui Yuan sect also clutched his beads with eyes wide open, “The early-stage Da Sheng Period Fiend Cultivator!”

Sir Yu Qingzi was furious and wanted to go back to the Fiend Palace for an explanation, but the master of Gui Yuan Sect said, “Don’t go! There are altogether eleven Da Sheng Period Fiend Cultivators, five in the Palace, while the other six are not under the command of Fiend Palace. I think that one doesn’t serve the Fiend Palace, otherwise he wouldn’t have waited until now.”

Hearing that, Yu Qingzi gradually calmed down. She gripped her whisk and said with guilt, “It’s all my fault. I’ve failed to protect my disciple. My fellow masters, please take care of the rest of the cultivators of Tai Hua mountain. Just take them to Gui Yuan Sect to settle down temporarily. I will head back to Tai Hua mountain as soon as possible and report it to Sir Hao Xingzi and…Xuan Lingzi.”
