Chapter 102: Stubbornness
"Changnian, how are you? Are you feeling better?" Hua Chiyu helped Gu Changnian sit up and looked at him with a worried look.
Chong Ying on the side shook his head and scolded: "Your soul almost left the body, and you were so seriously injured, and you came to this northern border with a weapon. It's really too messy."
This northern border is a wasteland opened up by the demon god with divine power a hundred thousand years ago. After the demon god was sealed, it was frozen for thousands of miles, covered with wind and snow. Although it looked the same as an ordinary snowfield, in fact, the entire land They all contain divine power, and even monks can't resist the severe cold here.
One day ago, the people from Lingshan were marching in the heavy snow in the north, following the location of the Demon God's seal shown on the azimuth map. Gu Changnian relied on the symbol of concentricity he had forged with Hua Chiyu many years ago, taking Yue Qingru with him. He Qi Guanrui found them directly.
At that time, Gu Changnian's hair was loosely tied, covered in blood, and his breath was weak. He seemed to be so anxious that he didn't have time to cast a dust-removing spell all the way.
The several heads thought that something serious must have happened, so they found a mountain col with leeward wind to stop, set up a barrier, and while healing Gu Changnian's injuries, asked about what happened.
"That is to say, Lu Li is the Demon Lord who has been in seclusion for many years. He sneaked into Lingshan to find the location of all the seals and release the magical beasts?" Xuan Qingzi stood at the entrance of the pass with his hands behind his back, making his expression invisible. .
Gu Changnian covered his chest and took a hard breath: "Yes."
"So," Xuan Qingzi turned his head slightly and looked at Gu Changnian: "Is He Qing kept in the dark?" His eyes seemed to be scrutinizing.
Gu Changnian's eyes flickered and he gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Yes, Master, she only found out about Lu Li's identity when Chen Sanyi, the head of Yuling Palace, launched an attack."
"And then he was taken away?"
"Yes. Master was injured at that time, and the monster took Master away when he was not prepared."
Yue Qingru was sweating profusely as she listened in the corner. She really didn't expect that Gu Changnian, who usually looked extremely decent, would lie without blinking an eye.
Qi Guanrui was also quite embarrassed. He believed that He Qing must have her reasons for doing this, but it was still difficult for him to lie. In the end, the burden was left to Gu Changnian, and he took it into his own hands, just thinking It feels very stressful just thinking about it.
Considering Gu Changnian's style all along, except for Yue Qingru and Qi Guanrui who knew the inside story, no one present seemed to doubt his words too much.
The only person who felt that he was lying was Hua Chiyu, who had always understood him.
Hua Chiyu not only saw that Gu Changnian was lying, but even saw the pain he was suppressing...
Gu Changnian implored Xuan Qingzi: "Master Immortal, now Master's whereabouts are unknown. If you stay with the monster for one more day, the crisis will increase. I also ask Master Immortal to quickly mobilize people to find Master."
Xuan Qingzi pondered for a moment: "Let me think about this, Guanyue, you come with me."
Guan Yue glanced at Hua Chi Yu who was worried, then responded and followed.
Arriving outside the mountain col, the flying goose feather snow could instantly cover everything on the snowfield. Xuan Qingzi and Guanyue could only stand still when a layer of snow fell on their shoulders.
Xuan Qingzi waved his hand and opened a light screen to cover himself and Guanyue. He brushed off the snow on his shoulders and said straight to the point: "He Qing had earlier offered to go to Santuchuan to investigate the matter of the Demonic Master. Now that I think about it, I just want to come." I'm afraid she will already know Lu Li's identity by then."
The meaning of these words was very clear, which immediately caused Guanyue to be stunned and said in a deep voice: "According to what Chang Nian said, He Qing doesn't know about this."
Xuan Qingzi shook his head: "I don't fully believe it. Qi Guanrui is a pure man and is not good at lying. Didn't you see that? When Chang Nian reported what happened in Yuling Palace, Qi Guanrui looked frightened, apologetic and uneasy. It was obvious that he was The look of guilty conscience.”
Guanyue really didn't see it. His attention was on Hua Chiyu at that time. Now that Xuan Qingzi asked him casually, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. "If people in the Immortal Sect know about this, they will definitely be angry and resentful." , it’s up to you to find her back and ask her why. If she is still willing to look back, while the news can be hidden, there is still room for change. If she really goes astray to the end, I’m afraid, Lingshan I can’t save her.”
Guanyue nodded in agreement, then asked hesitantly: "But now that He Qing has cut off contact with us, where can we find him?"
Xuan Qingzi thought for a long time and said: "Let's go to Santuchuan. She wanted to go to Santuchuan from the beginning, but you have to be careful. After the incident in Liangzhou City, many demon cultivators gathered in Liangzhou. It’s impossible to pass by the city, there must be a lot of demon cultivators in Santu River at this time.”
"Okay, I'll pay attention." After a pause, Guanyue looked in the direction of the mountain col: "Chang Nian, do you want to take it with you?"
"No need," Xuan Qingzi denied without hesitation: "Not only don't take Chang Nian with you, but also Qi Guan Rui and Yue Qing Ru. The three of them are focused on He Qing. If they really bumped into her in Santuchuan, they would still I don’t know who to help.”
"good."

"You already know who I am, don't you? Master."
He Qing's eyes were dull for a moment——
Yes, she already knew it.
Suguang is not only the Demon Lord, but also the ancient god who exists in the legend, the Demon God.
She had already had suspicions, but was still unwilling to face the possibility. But today, Sui Guang exposed her without any warning...
After being silent for a long time, He Qing had a dull face and stiffly changed the subject: "You don't need to recuperate, so why are you here when you know that there are so many demon cultivators who don't agree with you?"
"..." Su Guang frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand why the words came to this point. He Qing still had to resist facing this fact.
Su Guang was somewhat displeased with such a desperate avoidance, but even though he couldn't figure out the key, he didn't continue the stalemate. He took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and replied following He Qing's words: "Looking for a trace of the dead soul."
He Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes tightly, suppressed his racing heart, and asked, "What dead soul?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other shore, which had been inaccessible just now, was suddenly close at hand. The turtle beast carried the two of them and swam to the shallow water, letting out a low whistle.
Su Guang stood up and stepped ashore first, turned around and extended a hand to He Qing, but He Qing looked at the hand in silence and chose to jump directly.
Su Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, and the coldness in his eyes expanded a bit more.
He Qing looked around and saw that the river bank here was almost exactly the same as the other side when they came, as if looking into a mirror.
Only there were many dense forests of dead branches in the distance, and there were countless crow-like birds sitting on the branches, staring at them with blood-red eyes.
