Chapter 864: The Fall Of Great Ning Palace (III)
Yu Jiang
Li Qinghong had just seen him earlier, when she had been duelling Guo Hongjian; he was a cultivator from the Southern Sea whose aura was hard to gauge and carried an air of deep mystery.
He simply stood there, staring at Li Qinghong’s dazzling purple lightning-covered figure. His expression was naturally full of admiration, as if he were waiting for something rather than attacking.
Li Qinghong knew this person was formidable and held her spear without striking. After two seconds, she saw a streak of blue-black light shoot skyward from Chengshui Tomb in the north, rapidly spreading and dyeing half the sky blue-black.
Boom!
A thunderous roar erupted, as if something had fallen from the distant mountains, sending tremors through the earth. A hazy purple-black energy surged skyward.
The demonic smoke in the north all paused, and twisted in chaotic confusion. Some turned back north; some halted to fight among themselves; and a few continued south, becoming increasingly disordered.
She glanced worriedly, but the young man before her seemed to have been waiting for this moment to arrive, and finally spoke, "Daoist Li, the Great Ning Palace has fallen. Chengshui Tomb is filled with all sorts of relics, and the devil cultivators will surely rush to search for them, so the offensive will slow down for a while.
"I came here especially for this chance, and I ask for your guidance."
His clear voice slowly echoed in the air. Li Qinghong frowned slightly at the unexpected words and softly replied, "Li Qinghong greets you, Daoist friend. But there is a great calamity between the North and South at the moment. I fear it is not appropriate for a duel right now. Please wait until this time has passed. If I survive, you may seek me out then."
Yu Jiang looked at her seriously and replied, "I have some grudges with the Azure Pond Sect, and since you blocked the devil cultivators, I’m not too pleased."
