Chapter 780: Confession
A cloud of mist floated to the top of the mountain.
"who?"
Lu Han and Chu Yunfeng felt a sense of alarm, their eyes flashed with lightning, and they looked towards the direction where the clouds were coming from.
"It's me!"
Qin Ziling walked out of the clouds, along with Xiao Qing, Xia Yan and Lan Ran.
"Master Lan Feng!"
When Lu Han and Fu Biao saw Lan Ran, they couldn't help but exclaimed, but ignored Qin Ziling, Xiao Qing and Xia Yan.
In their eyes, Qin Ziling is still Qin Feng, Yin Ranyue's subordinate.
No matter in terms of noble status or strength, he naturally cannot compare with Lan Ran.
"Master!"
However, before Lu Han and Fu Biao could finish their exclamations, they saw their peak master flying into Qin Ziling's arms.
Given the current situation, it is naturally impossible to keep their relationship secret any longer.
"Master?"
Except for Chu Yunfeng and Cui Jun who were not surprised at all, everyone else in Xuan Tingfeng was shocked and stood there like clay statues with dull eyes.
"I'm late! I'm sorry for making you suffer!" Qin Ziling hugged Yin Ranyue and raised his hand to touch the scars on her face that were still shining with fire and electricity.
"Ah!" Yin Ranyue suddenly realized that her current appearance was horrible. She screamed and reached out to push Qin Ziling away.
But Qin Ziling was prepared, hugged her tightly, and said: "You are my beloved wife, no matter how ugly you are, you are still my beloved wife!"
"Young Master!" Yin Ranyue burst into tears.
"But don't worry! I'm back, everything will be over, and you will soon return to your original state." Qin Ziling wiped away Yin Ranyue's tears.
"Yeah!" Yin Ranyue's delicate body trembled slightly, and a hint of shock flashed in her eyes, but she quickly nodded with conviction, then pushed Qin Ziling away with a slightly blushing face.
This time Qin Ziling let go.
"Mother, I'm late and I scared you!" Qin Ziling stepped forward and knelt in front of Cui Yun.
"As long as you come back safely, that's good!" Cui Jun hurriedly stepped forward to help Qin Ziling up, crying with joy.
"Mom!" Xiao Qing and Xia Yan hurried forward and bowed and called out upon seeing this.
"Okay, okay, I'm relieved now that you're back!" Cui Jun walked forward, took Xiao Qing and Xia Yan's hands, and nodded repeatedly.
"Mom!" Cui Jun was holding Xiao Qing and Xia Yan's hands. Lan Ran stepped forward and called softly, her pretty face slightly red, with a rare and touching shyness.
"mother?"
When Lu Han and others saw that Lan Ran actually called Cui Yunniang, they were so shocked that their legs went weak and they almost fell to the ground.
Cui Jun looked up at Lan Ran with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Xiao Qing whispered something in her ear.
Cui Yun immediately showed a look of surprise, then pulled Lan Ran over and looked him up and down, saying, "Good, good!"
Even though Lan Ran was once a peak master of noble status and had a graceful temperament, she now lowered her head in shame, looking like a young wife.
When Lu Han and others saw this scene, their three views collapsed. They even completely forgot that outside the formation, the Netherworld Palace was still attacking the Jiuxuan Sect and that the Jiuxuan Sect was facing a catastrophe.
However, although Lu Han and others had forgotten, Qin Ziling would not forget, and he would not forget that his wife was still seriously injured at this time.
"Ranyue, follow me into Xuanting Palace." Qin Ziling said to Yin Ranyue.
"Yes, young master!" Yin Ranyue nodded, and then followed Qin Ziling into Xuanting Palace.
The Xuanting Palace was empty at this time, with no one inside.
Qin Ziling took out three jade boxes and a piece of meat as big as a bucket, which was shiny, steaming, and exuding a rich aroma.
"What kind of meat is this? It has such rich energy!" Yin Ranyue looked at the barbecue in Qin Ziling's hand with surprise in her eyes.
As soon as Qin Ziling took out the meat, it smelled fragrant. She took a deep breath, and the seriously injured and listless immortal baby in the immortal palace actually became a little more energetic.
"This is a descendant of the ancient thunder beast, the Thunder Si, with amazing combat power, equivalent to the ninth-grade True Immortal. Its meat is a natural precious medicine that is quickly absorbed and has a good effect. When I sneaked in just now, I ordered someone in Qiankun Cave Heaven to roast a large piece for you as soon as possible.
Because time is tight, the taste may be a little worse. You can just eat some of it first. It should help you repair your body and increase your spiritual power.
And this box contains the Wood Emperor Immortal Grass, which is a top-grade healing elixir. You should eat it together with this piece of Thunder Rhinoceros Meat. When you feel fully recovered, you can also take this Wind and Fire Ascension Fruit and Heavenly Dao Creation Fruit, and you will surely be able to break through to the ninth-grade True Immortal in one fell swoop."
Qin Ziling said this, pointing one by one at the three boxes placed in front of Yin Ranyue.
Yin Ranyue’s eyes widened with shock, and she couldn’t recover for a long time.
After a while, Yin Ranyue came back to her senses and shook her head repeatedly.
"My path is different from others. Each path requires reaching the limit, and I am not ready yet. Also, because I was in Dark Emperor Heaven before, my soul could not pass the tribulation, and now the three realms are out of balance. I need to wait for my soul to pass several tribulations before I can fully impact the ninth level.
You are different. I can feel that you have had a great adventure. Although you suffered a heavy blow this time, it also truly stimulated opportunities that you have not fully digested. It can be said that as long as you recover, you will be reborn from the ashes and can take advantage of the opportunity to break through to the ninth level!
Also, I got an opportunity in Dark Emperor Heaven that you can't even imagine. I have more than ten powerful relic meat and even Heavenly Dao Creation Fruit on hand, so you don't have to worry about the inventory. "Qin Ziling knew why Yin Ranyue shook her head and explained quickly.
"Thank you, young master. Ranyue will listen to you." Yin Ranyue smiled upon hearing that.
"Why are you saying thank you to me, you idiot!" Qin Ziling gently scratched Yin Ranyue's nose.
"Yes." Yin Ranyue nodded, and then said: "I inherited the way of thunder from a Taoist senior of Jiuxuan Sect, and also got a source of power that he specially sealed in the Thunder Cave Heaven. That's why my cultivation was able to advance by leaps and bounds and break through to the eighth-grade true immortal realm."
"So that's how it is. No wonder I always felt that although you were seriously injured, there seemed to be a more powerful force growing in you." Qin Ziling said with relief.
"Young Master, what are your plans next?" Yin Ranyue asked with a serious look.
"Destroy the Netherworld Palace and kill Youtong!" Qin Ziling's face turned cold, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Kill Youtong?" Yin Ranyue was surprised, then shook his head and said, "He is a Taoist immortal, and has integrated a part of the Heavenly Dao. Only a Taoist immortal can kill a Taoist immortal."
"Everything depends on human efforts. How can we know if we don't try? Besides, so what if Youtong is a Taoist immortal? How can I be compared with an ordinary True Immortal? Well, you hurry up to heal your wounds and break through. I'm going to discuss with the sect master and others about destroying the Netherworld Palace and killing Youtong!" Qin Ziling said.
"Yes, young master!" Yin Ranyue bowed slightly, then sat down cross-legged. He first opened an ancient wooden box, took out the Wood King Immortal Grass to eat, and then tore off a large piece of barbecue and ate it.
Qin Ziling smiled upon seeing this and left Xuanting Palace.
After leaving Xuanting Palace and standing on the square, Qin Ziling glanced in the direction of the bloody throne and said, "It seems that the old demon Youtong is resting and will not launch a strong attack so soon.
But for the sake of safety, Xiao Qing, Xia Yan, you guys stay here first and don't let anyone disturb Ran Yue. Also, unless it's an emergency, try not to take action."
"Yes!" Xiao Qing and Xia Yan straightened their backs.
One is heroic and dashing, the other is charming but exudes a hint of heroism.
"Lan Ran, please accompany me to Xuandu Peak." Qin Ziling said.
"Okay." Lan Ran nodded, and then the two of them flew quickly towards Xuandu Peak together.
Xuandu Peak.
Yue Huai and the Grand Elder looked at Lan Ran and Qin Ziling coming together. One of them was already at the ninth level of True Immortal, and his immortal power was extremely powerful, much stronger than that of the Grand Elder, while the other one was already at the eighth level of True Immortal. They couldn't help but tremble all over and looked shocked.
"You, you are actually already a ninth-grade true immortal!" After a while, Yue Huai and the Supreme Elder said in a trembling voice.
"Yes, Sect Master, Grand Elder." Lan Ran replied with a slight bow.
"Ran Yue inherited the Taoist tradition from Senior Lei Zhu and got a glimpse of the supreme secrets of the Dao of Thunder. You also got a great opportunity in the Dark Emperor Heaven and became a ninth-rank true immortal. My Jiuxuan Sect was going to prosper! How hateful, how hateful!" After getting Lan Ran's affirmative answer, Yue Huai was not surprised. Instead, his face was filled with grief, indignation and unwillingness.
"I hate it!" The Supreme Elder also had a look of grief, anger and unwillingness on his face.
"No! Ran Yue has been seriously injured and cannot escape this disaster. Lan Ran must not allow anything to happen to him again!" Soon , the grief and reluctance on the face of the Grand Elder turned into determination.
"In a few days, the old demon Youtong will surely launch his third killing move, and I will sacrifice myself to defeat him. After the third killing move is defeated, he will be weak for a moment and his sensitivity will weaken. At that time, you will use the secret method you came in and take Qin Feng and Yin Ranyue to leave Jiuxuan Sect." said the supreme elder.
"That's right! Lan Ran, you have become a ninth-rank immortal at such a young age, and you give me the impression that you are even more powerful than Senior Brother Ye. You have the hope of becoming a Taoist immortal, and you must not die here.
Qin Feng, you chose to enter Dark Emperor Heaven with Lan Ran back then, and now you are an eighth-rank true immortal, which shows that you are a person with great perseverance and opportunity. You are Ran Yue's person, and I absolutely trust you.
I will appoint you as the leader of Xuansha Peak today. I hope that after you and Lan Ran take Ran Yue to escape from Jiuxuan Sect this time, you can work together to rebuild Jiuxuan Sect in the future!" Yue Huai said solemnly.
Jiuxuan, the spirit of the Xuantian Mirror, couldn't help but become very subtle when he heard Yue Huai say that Qin Ziling was Yin Ranyue's man and that he wanted to appoint him as the master of Xuansha Peak.
The Xuantian Mirror is the Taoist treasure of the first generation leader of the Jiuxuan Sect.
Therefore, Jiuxuan’s status in Jiuxuan Sect is very special.
He is more like an elder of the Jiuxuan Sect, who has been watching over the growth of the Jiuxuan Sect. Even the supreme elder has to call Jiuxuan "senior" when he sees him.
Although Yue Huai is the sect leader who controls the Xuantian Mirror, his relationship with the Xuantian Mirror is equal. There are some things that Jiuxuan does not allow him to know, and he has no way of knowing them.
Just now, Lei Xiao and Jiu Xuan communicated through spiritual consciousness. Until now, Yue Huai still didn't know many things, and he didn't know that the powerful person Jiu Xuan mentioned before was actually referring to Qin Ziling instead of Lan Ran.
Previously, Jiuxuan discovered that the only person who wanted to sneak in was Qin Ziling, not Lan Ran.
As for how Lan Ran appeared later, Jiu Xuan didn't know.
But he wouldn't talk about it, nor would he ask about it.
Because Lei Xiao had already told him that Qin Ziling was Yin Ranyue's husband, someone who could be truly trusted, and the only person who could save Jiuxuan Sect now.
Yin Ranyue was able to inherit the Lei Zhu Taoist tradition, and just now she risked her life to resist Youtong's attack, so Jiuxuan naturally trusts her absolutely!
Qin Ziling is Yin Ranyue's husband, so he naturally trusts him.
As the spirit of a thunder-type Taoist treasure, Lei Xiao has a most resolute side to her character. Even she said that Qin Ziling is someone who can be absolutely trusted, so Jiu Xuan has even less reason to doubt Qin Ziling.
Besides, the Jiuxuan Sect had no other choice at this time.
Since he trusts her absolutely, he will definitely not tell anyone about Qin Ziling's affairs unless Qin Ziling opens his mouth.
"We won't leave!" Qin Ziling said.
"This is the order of our sect. Do you want to betray the sect? How dare you..." Yue Huai said sternly.
"Master, his name is not Qin Feng, but Qin Ziling. He is my husband and Ran Yue's husband. He can save the Jiuxuan Sect!" Lan Ran interrupted Yue Huai quickly when he saw him showing off his power as the master.
"ah!"
Yue Huai and the Supreme Elder both opened their mouths involuntarily and did not close them for a long time.
Even Jiuxuan looked surprised and astonished.
Now, the two most outstanding female peak masters of Jiuxuan Sect, who could even be said to be the hope for the rise of Jiuxuan Sect, are both the wives of the man in front of them. How could they not be shocked and lose their composure?
Of course, what shocked them the most was Lan Ran’s last sentence.
Lan Ran is the master of Xuanbing Peak, and now she is a ninth-grade true immortal. At this critical moment of life and death, it is impossible for her to speak nonsense!
"You, can you really save the Jiuxuan Sect? But you are only an eighth-grade true immortal. What makes you think you can save it?" Soon, Yue Huai and the Supreme Elder suppressed their shock and asked with a look of nervous anticipation.
"Lan Ran's current combat power is that of a half-way immortal, and I am much stronger than her. It is not difficult for us to work together to repel the old demon Youtong and the Netherworld Palace and help the Jiuxuan Sect survive this disaster.
The difficulty is that once the old demon Youtong is gone, our strengths and weaknesses will be exposed, and there will be even greater disasters ahead." Qin Ziling said.
When Yue Huai and the Grand Elder heard what Qin Ziling had said just now, their hearts were filled with turbulent waves.
They never dreamed that Lan Ran was not only comparable to a half-way immortal, but Qin Ziling was actually much stronger than her.
However, both of them were extraordinary people and knew that this was not the time to be surprised or to delve into these things. The key was Qin Ziling's next words.
"So what you mean is..." the two asked, their hearts beating wildly.
"Destroy the Netherworld Palace and kill the old demon Youtong!" Qin Ziling said word by word.
"This is impossible!" Although the two of them already had this guess, when they really heard Qin Ziling say this, they were still shocked and almost jumped up, and immediately shook their heads to deny it.
"It's difficult, but not impossible. The premise is that from this moment on, you and the entire Jiuxuan Sect must listen to my orders!" Qin Ziling said in a deep voice.
"It doesn't matter whether you can successfully kill the old demon Youtong. The key is that as long as you can help our Jiuxuan Sect survive this disaster, let alone the entire Jiuxuan Sect will listen to your orders this time, even if you want to take our lives right now, we won't even frown." Yue Huai and the Supreme Elder said without hesitation.
"Okay! As long as the sect master and the supreme elder are determined, I am 40% sure that I can keep the old demon Youtong!" Qin Ziling said in a deep voice, emitting a strong confidence.
"Four or five points!" Not to mention Yue Huai and the Grand Elder, even Jiu Xuan was shocked, and looked at Qin Ziling with disbelief.
Youtong is a Taoist immortal, and the Taoism he practices is a very vicious and strange one from the Demon Sect. In the battle that year, although the Jiuxuan Sect severely damaged the Netherworld Palace and Youtong, it drove them out of the Jiuxuan Mountain and the sea area.
However, the previous leader of the Jiuxuan Sect was also severely injured in that battle, and died early due to an accident ten thousand years ago. Since then, the Jiuxuan Sect has been going from bad to worse and has never recovered.
Now, Qin Ziling said that he was 40% to 50% sure of keeping Youtong. Could it be that he was even more powerful than the previous sect leader?
"Please give the orders, fellow Taoist!" Soon, Yue Huai and the Supreme Elder looked at each other, and solemnly bowed to Qin Ziling and asked for instructions.
"good!"
Qin Ziling didn't bother to be polite with the two of them, and directly told them that the core points of his plan were "letting the wolf into the house" and "catching the turtle in the jar".
When Yue Huai, the Supreme Elder, and Jiu Xuan heard Qin Ziling mention "letting a wolf into the house", they all turned pale and almost lost their composure and spoke, but in the end they forced themselves to hold back.
…
Qin Ziling soon left Xuandu Peak alone.
After Qin Ziling left, Lan Ran spoke a few words to Yue Huai and the Grand Elder, then went to his own Xuanbing Peak first, gave some instructions to his disciples, distributed some training supplies, and then took some people to Xuansha Peak, which was originally under the control of Shentu Kun.
Now the Xuansha Peak is like a hell on earth, with filthy blood everywhere, and the whole mountain is like a huge blood cocoon. Several key formation nodes of the Xuansha Formation arranged under the mountain and the mountain were secretly tampered with, and now it can no longer operate, causing a breach in the Nine Profound Seventy-two Earthly Evil Formation.
Fortunately, the breach was not big, and the Xuantian Mirror could still barely mobilize the large formation to block it and prevent powerful figures from breaking in. However, there were still flaws and loopholes, so it could only block the big ones and let the small ones go.
This resulted in the Xuansha Peak being invaded by more and more blood evil energy over time, forming a huge blood cocoon. Once the blood cocoon exploded, the breach would inevitably become even bigger. At that time, the Nine Profound and Seventy-two Earthly Evil Array would probably no longer be able to stop the army of the Netherworld.
As soon as Lan Ran arrived at Xuansha Peak, he went to check and repair the Xuansha Formation.
Just now at Xuandu Peak, Lan Ran had obtained the formation diagram of the Xuansha Formation from Jiuxuan , and Jiuxuan had pointed out the problem to her. However, the materials required for these formation nodes were extremely precious and rare, and the person who set up the formation also needed to have a high level of cultivation.
Today, the Jiuxuan Sect not only lacks the materials to repair the formation, but also lacks such experts.
Of course, this is no longer a problem now.
Qin Ziling had obtained countless precious and rare materials in the Dark Emperor Heaven, and Lan Ran was even a powerful figure at the half-immortal level.
While Lan Ran was checking and repairing the Xuansha Formation, orders were coming out from Xuandu Peak.
In Xuandu Palace, the Grand Elder Ye Chen was eating the barbecued meat of the ancient species like Yin Ranyue.
