Four months passed. It was not a fast or long time, especially as a cultivator that had a life span of up to thousands of years. Late summer to early spring, anything can happen.
For the Soaring Cloud sect, these four months passed by too quickly. For four months the elite disciples had flipped over the middle ground in search of the existence of the stains of their noble sects, but only found a cold trace. For four months, the peak formation expert had brain-twisted the direction of the teleportation formation Chen Qinyang had left behind, only to discover if the formation was from the era of the Gods. And once again the fifth peak was full of desperate screams.
Meanwhile on Hualing's side, he was still trying to contact Yuan Qing and only found silence. And during that time anyway, I don't know how many times he reversed the course of time that destiny-breaking bells were heading towards. In Hualing's heart sneered at him inwardly, apparently I had caused a lot of trouble for Ah Qing. Even if it was not his will, however dodging would not change the fact that he was the shape of the bell's consciousness.
One month later. As the peak master's direct disciple, Hualing got word that the young girls and young men from a northern mainland town had mysteriously disappeared overnight. After an investigation by the Sky Sect, a teleportation formation was found in the ravine outside the city. Although it is called a ravine, in fact the place is nothing more than a hidden mass grave. Skulls and bones scattered over the ground with surging complaint energy that stifled.
The Soaring Cloud Sect who heard the news rushed over in one night, and the results brought back as they expected. It was the same teleportation formation that Chen Qinyang had left behind. And their headaches increased.
Aib who tries to be covered will eventually open up. Inevitably they had to share the information they had with the Sky sect as another 'victim.
And exactly two days ago, Hualing got news that was able to trigger his heart attack. Making him panic over contacting Yuan Qing, and if a little rationality was not available in the corner of his brain, he might have already dashed into the demon valley.
A similar teleportation formation was found right outside the demon valley. The formation was most likely the other end of the formation found in the mass grave of Lin city and the ravine in the northern mainland. And the real news that managed to shake Hualing was Chen Qinyang who was known to have entered the demon valley the day before the news was sent.
Hualing knew correctly, Chen Qinyang's existence there was the same as tying Yuan Qing together in the eyes of true cultivators. It was as if the mastermind behind this case was the demon lord.
If asked, Hualing could steadily answer that this was unrelated to Yuan Qing. However, that confidence would decrease by half if it came to terms with the demons or other demon cultivators in the darkness-filled valley.
Heavy breathing sounds. Sitting inside his house Hualing again recalled the whereabouts of Yuan Qing that he did not know. Sitting with the tea had cooled down, Hualing kneaded his pain-throbbing temples. Occasionally his gaze was directed at the dark-colored jade on the table, and a sigh would sound late after that.
One hand outstretched, gently tracing the intricate carvings on the jade surface. The wavy surface felt cold, making him shiver uncomfortably.
The hand that was twitching the temple stopped, both eyes closed while the forehead in the side with one hand. His feelings at the moment are complicated. One side trusted Yuan Qing's morals, while one side was the demon on Yuan Qing's side. For as clean as the man's hand may be, it will be stained only by his identity and his place now. Hualing was very confident, in a few days there would be news about Chen Qinyang being an accomplice of the demon king Yuan!
And Hualing could not help but sigh heavily again.
"Ling'er, did you miss me so much that you sighed?"
"What's wrong? Your voice doesn't sound right." The other side is back to sound. Hualing could imagine a deep frown on the man's forehead when he asked.
"Why so long?" Hualing felt all the complaints this month erupt, his voice a little hoarse, like he had been mistreated.
"I'm sorry. There are some obstacles in the breakthrough." The tone of voice from across softened, like calming a sulking child.
"What now, will there still be problems?" Hearing Yuan Qing's reply, all the grievances he felt turned into heart-pinched worries.
"The breakthrough works, everything will be fine."
"That's great!" Hualing nodded quickly even though he knew the man talking to him could not see his excited nod.
"Sorry to worry you so much." If the demons and demon cultivators heard someone talking about hearing the King apologize, they would definitely beat up the speaker for saying nonsense. How could a Demon King who unites the entire demon valley with a bloody path without changing face would apologize to others.
It's just gonna be bullshit. It would be a blasphemy to a proud Demon King!
"It doesn't matter, as long as you're okay." And the cause of the blasphemy received the Devil King's apology with generosity.
The sound of light breathing breaks the silence of communication. Neither Hualing nor Yuan Qing felt it stifling, but rather relief.
"Regarding Chen Qinyang, I've heard of it. I've also deployed subordinates to investigate, it shouldn't be long before the bugs are found." so you can rest your mind. The last sentence was only Yuan Qing's voice in his mind.
"Emh, you have to be careful. Some people would probably use this opportunity to incite an ambush of the demon valley." Neither Hualing nor Yuan Qing knew, the sentence was spoken based on the future Hualing had seen.
"You must also be careful," don't let our attachment be a danger to you.
Yuan Qing wanted to say it, but he knew he could not. Hualing wouldn't be happy if he said so.
