Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 70: She's Going to Fulfill an Unfinished Appointment

Everyone surrounded Chen Qing in order to prevent the 'weakest' Chen Qing from being killed by them.

Ye Yuntian looked at the woman. "I didn't expect that the body we found wasn't yours!"

The Lotus Fairy said bitterly, "That's my sister. She looks very much like me."

"When we were defeated, she told me to run away and avenge her."

A middle-aged man's voice suddenly sounded from behind. "But how can I let go of such a grudge so easily?"

The man looked to be in his fifties, wearing a tattered Taoist robe. He walked slowly towards the crowd in the rain. "I've only left the Lotus Cave for twenty-seven years, and it's already become like this."

"You people have to give me an explanation!"

He Ming opened his hand, and his sword flew straight from the front of the Lotus Fairy into his hand. He stood behind Ye Yuntian with his sword held horizontally, and said in a low voice, "I have hidden a crane outside the city. What's the arrangement?"

Ye Yuntian just pulled out his sword and threw the scabbard on the ground.

Although it was He Ming who arranged for them to come here to watch the dance, he didn't consider the possibility that He Ming had leaked their whereabouts. He ordered, "Find a chance to kill our way out. Let Qing Shuang take Chen Qing away first!"

There was only one crane, but Ye Yuntian's first thought was not to escape himself, but to let Chen Qing, the 'weakest', leave first.

He Ming put his hand on Chen Qing's shoulder and smiled. "Since I'm the one who brought you here, I'll bring you back safely."

The middle-aged man took off the bamboo hat on his head and grabbed a handful of rainwater. Suddenly, the rain became thicker.

Qiu Lie pulled out the rusty sword from his waist. "This sword was given to me by my youngest daughter. But now, she's gone."

He waved his hand, no longer hesitating.

"Kill!"

"I'll cut them into pieces!"

"Only by sucking their marrow out of their bones and cooking them in the cauldron can my hatred be appeased!"

More than ten black-clothed survivors of the Lotus Cave suddenly rushed into the rain, the sword in their hands bursting with sword energy.

He Ming seemed to have sensed something and shouted, "Now is the time! Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, do it!"

Ye Yuntian instantly rushed out with his sword held horizontally, charging towards the Lotus Flower Cave survivors in front of him. Sword light spread out for three zhang, and as he brandished it, the surrounding buildings were shattered into pieces!

The cultivators around him immediately scattered, not daring to face Ye Yuntian's sword directly.

At this moment, a wall was suddenly smashed, and a red-crowned crane jumped out of it and arrived in front of Cranecry.

He Ming grabbed Chen Qing and Yu Qingshuang's shoulders and threw them onto the back of the crane.

"Go!"

Chen Qing hugged the crane's neck tightly. "Senior Brother!"

He Ming leaped high into the air and struck a surviving member of the Lotus Flower Cave who wanted to harm the Immortal Crane, causing him to fall back three steps. He angrily shouted, "Run!"

He whistled, and the red-crowned crane immediately flapped its wings and flew up, creating a gust of wind that blew away the curtain of rain in front of it as it flew into the sky.

The red-crowned crane flew for only three hundred zhang, and a black-clothed man jumped down from a tall building. His long sword cut through the curtain of rain and slashed towards Chen Qing and the others!

Chen Qing was hesitating whether or not to make a move. Yu Qingshuang stood up from behind him and unsheathed her sword. She stepped on the red-crowned crane and jumped into the air, exchanging three blows with the black-clothed man in the air!

The last blow separated them. Chen Qing hurriedly rode the red-crowned crane to catch Yu Qingshuang, who was falling from the sky.

Riding the red-crowned crane and flying in the rain, Chen Qing turned his head to look. Seeing that the black-clothed man who had tried to kill them failed, he had joined the group that surrounded Ye Yuntian and the others.

In the middle of the town, the tall buildings were shattered, and the sword light was wreaking havoc. In the whistling wind, the energy was scattered in all directions!

Ye Yuntian took a blow in the chaotic battle, but his expression did not change at all. He returned the blow with an even more ruthless blow.

He Ming and Shen Ao rushed left and right in the enemy's encirclement, ready to fight their way out!

The red-crowned crane flew further and further away, and the town became smaller and smaller in Chen Qing's eyes. He could no longer distinguish between Ye Yuntian and the people of the Lotus Flower Cave. He could only see that the tall buildings there were collapsing.

This was the world of life and death.

When the immortal crane was ten li away, Yu Qing Shuang said from behind Chen Qing: "Land."

Chen Qing rode the immortal crane and landed, when he turned around, he saw blood dripping out of Yu Qing Shuang's right sleeve.

"You are injured?"

Yu Qing Shuang did not care: "It is just a small injury."

Chen Qing wanted to pick up Yu Qing Shuang's hand to check the injury, but Yu Qing Shuang held his face with both hands: "Chen Qing, I know you have been cultivating on the mountain and have not seen such a fierce battle."

She said seriously: "But don't be afraid, we are here."

"Listen to me now, listen to me seriously."

Chen Qing replied: "Okay!"

Yu Qing Shuang held Chen Qing's face tightly: "Go to senior brother Feng's encampment and tell them this news, ask them to save us!"

Chen Qing asked: "Their encampment is so far away, can they make it in time?"

Yu Qing Shuang said: "Don't worry, I know more about fighting than you, I have killed two qi refinement level six and one qi refinement level seven."

"Trust me, we can hold on until senior brother Feng and the rest arrive!"

In the drizzle, Chen Qing asked: "What about you?"

Yu Qing Shuang wiped the rain from Chen Qing's eyebrows and let go of his face: "I will fight the enemy with senior brother Feng and the rest, Carefree Mountain has no reason to abandon a fellow disciple and escape."

She smiled like a flower, looking valiant in the dark rain: "Remember, you are not escaping, you are only going to get reinforcements."

In her eyes, Chen Qing was only a weak and stupid blockhead who had never left Carefree Mountain's protection.

She pushed Chen Qing onto the immortal crane's back and raised her hand, causing the immortal crane to fly away. She looked at Chen Qing seriously and turned around without hesitation.

She was going to the unfinished battle.

The immortal crane flew further and further away.

Chen Qing sat on the immortal crane's back, feeling the rain and spring wind blowing on his face.

She is lying to me.

Lotus Flower Cave was famous for rain Gu, and now it was raining continuously.

Other than Lotus Fairy who was not weaker than Ye Yun Tian, there was also an ascetic cultivator who had just returned after hearing the news.

Qiu Lie had worked hard outside for twenty-seven years, so his strength must be even more unfathomable.

How could Ye Yuntian, Cranecry, and Shen Ao stop him?

When you decided to let me go, you should have hesitated for a moment.

That way, I can go and call for reinforcements with peace of mind.

He took a deep breath, inhaling the spring breeze and the drizzle into his mouth.

Riding the crane, he landed in front of a nameless stream, then cupped a handful of water to wash his face.

Then, he took off the hairpin on his head and let his hair hang freely over his shoulders.

Raising his hand, Chen Qing removed the long sword from his waist and fastened the red-crowned crane's reins onto a rock by the stream.

"Crane, listen to me. Wait for me here for a while."

"I'll be right back."

He got up and walked into the depths of the forest.

Under the night sky, he turned into mist as he walked.

When he landed on the ground again, he was wearing a black robe and a bronze ghost mask.
