Chapter 534 Return
To be honest, it was beyond Duan Qingzhi's expectation that he could lure out Situ Bo so smoothly and kill him.
It was probably because the old man was too anxious. When he found that he was using the sword-controlling technique to leave, he couldn't help but jump out and attack the phantom body he saw.
If he was more cautious and sensed that it was actually the phantom body that flew away, and was on guard, it would not be so easy for him to sneak attack.
After all, the Phantom Pearl is just a magic weapon, and the phantom body it created is easy to detect.
In addition, when he appeared, he did not use any defensive means. It is probably because he was afraid that when he was hiding, he would emit spiritual power fluctuations and be discovered by him.
It must be said that although there was obviously a fluke element in it, the combination of Bai Mengxing Secret Art and Phantom Pearl was unexpectedly good.
Fortunately, he was in the Great Dream City at that time and insisted on asking Ouyang Yu to exchange the Bai Mengxing Secret Art for the top-grade spiritual treasure he got.
This Bai Mengxing Secret Art really did not disappoint him. It was extremely practical and its value was beyond the reach of a top-grade spiritual treasure.
In addition, the Phantom Pearl, which originally belonged to the head of Jinxuan Sect, Bai Hua Zhenren, was only a magic weapon, but its function of creating a phantom body could sometimes work wonders.
Once Situ Bo died, there was no possibility that Duan Qing would leak the Wanhua Pure Lotus.
This made him feel a lot more relaxed.
However, he couldn't stay here for long.
Duan Qing put away Situ Bo's storage bracelet and flying sword, as well as the pair of storage bracelets that Situ Bo had taken away before.
After cleaning up the battlefield, he casually cast two fire spells to burn Situ Bo's body, and then hurriedly left the place and prepared to return to the Shinto Sect.
The reason why he destroyed the body and did not bring Situ Bo's body back to the Shinto Sect for reporting was naturally his consideration.
Ask yourself, he was not at fault in the whole thing.
Situ Bo's death was purely his own fault. He coveted his Wanhua Pure Lotus and secretly attacked him, but was killed by him.
But sometimes things are afraid of being serious.
Does he dare to tell the truth?
He dare not!
After all, the Wanhua Pure Lotus is in his hands. If he really wants to make things clear, even if the sect does not blame him, he will definitely not be able to keep the Wanhua Pure Lotus.
Besides, what good will it do him to tell the sect about Situ Bo?
I am afraid there is no benefit.
Not only that, but it may cause trouble.
Therefore, Duan Qing simply destroyed the body and ended it all, as if the incident had never happened!
Speaking of which, he was just completing the sect's Xuan-level task this time, but who would have thought that he would encounter such twists and turns in the middle.
However, there are twists and turns, and there are also gains.
Not to mention Cheng Shuang's exquisite Wushuang Ban, just staying in the Shuangsheng Dao for more than ten days has made him go from knowing nothing about the ban to a small success in the ban, which is a great gain.
As for Situ Bo and Cheng Shuang's storage bracelets, compared with the Wushuang Ban and the gains from the ban, he doesn't think much of them.
When he returns to the sect, he will learn Cheng Shuang's unparalleled forbidden skills, which will definitely greatly increase his strength.
Due to the damage to his soul, Duan Qing's speed of flying the sword has greatly decreased. It would take him only about three hours to fly at full speed, but he flew for more than seven hours before finally returning to the Shinto Sect.
It was early morning when he and Situ Bo left the secret realm of Shuangshengguan, and when he returned to the Shinto Sect, the moon was already hanging high.
The Wanxiang Palace would be closed at night, so Duan Qing could only return to Qingfengjian first, and planned to go to the Wanxiang Palace after dawn to hand in the sect's task of killing Liu Yuanji.
Anyway, the task deadline is a full month, and only twenty days have passed, so there is still plenty of time.
Returning to Qingfengjian again, Duan Qing couldn't help feeling as if he was in another world.
I thought it was a very easy task, but I unexpectedly encountered two life-and-death disasters.
Fortunately, I finally returned safely.
Duan Qing went straight back to his cave and found that the fool was not in the cave, which was a little strange.
Probably jumping around somewhere in Qingfengjian!
He didn't care much about it. In Qingfengjian, with the presence of senior brother Yu Ya and others, the idiot wouldn't be in any danger.
Moreover, he didn't have the energy to look for that idiot at this time.
He had been out for more than 20 days. In the secret realm of Shuangshengguan, he had been studying the prohibitions for nearly 20 days without sleep, and his spirit had been in a tense state.
In addition, his soul was damaged in the battle with Chengshuang's soul, and he was attacked by Situ Bo later.
This series of events made him extremely tired both physically and mentally.
At this time, he didn't want to do anything, just wanted to have a good sleep first!
So, Duan Qing didn't care about his image, lay down on the stone bed in the cave, and fell asleep.
...
The next morning.
Xue Wanyun interrupted her practice, opened her beautiful eyes, with a touch of lingering sorrow in her eyes.
She stood up and combed her hair, and glanced at the idiot sleeping in the corner of the cave. With a worried look on her face, Xue Wanyun walked towards Duan Qingzhi's cave on the other side of Qingfengjian.
She muttered as she walked.
"Damn guy, you've been out for so long and there's no news. What's the time-consuming task!"
"Hmph, you're in a hurry to do the task just after you became my disciple. You're so capable!"
"Don't tell me before you do the task. I'll see how I deal with you when I come back!"
...
Since she heard from her senior brother Yu Ya twenty days ago that Duan Qing had left the sect to complete the sect's task, Xue Wanyun felt a little uneasy.
She felt that Duan Qing had only been a disciple for a short time, and it was really reckless for him to rush to complete the sect's task alone.
She took so much trouble to let him become my disciple. Even if he wanted to go, he should have said hello to her, her senior sister, before he went!
However, considering that Duan Qing only took a mysterious mission, it should not be dangerous.
However, as the days passed, Duan Qing did not return, and her worries became stronger.
Starting from ten days ago, she would go to Duan Qing's cave every day to see if Duan Qing had returned.
The entire Qingfengjian Valley is not big, only a few miles in radius, and is roughly oval in shape.
A waterfall from the top of Qingxu Mountain, formed by the melting snow on Qingxu Mountain, flows through the valley to form a cold stream, dividing the entire Qingfengjian Valley into two, and the two places are connected by a wooden bridge.
Xue Wanyun and Mu Yu's cave is on the west side of the cold stream, while Yu Ya and Duan Qing's cave is on the east side of the cold stream.
Not long after, Xue Wanyun walked to Duan Qing's cave.
She looked a little absent-minded, as if she was worried.
Duan Qing had not returned for so long, and she was thinking whether to go to Uncle Zhu to find Duan Qing's location with the Divine Dao Order.
At this moment, Xue Wanyun seemed to sense something, and was slightly stunned. Then, without saying anything, she hurried into the cave.
As soon as she entered the cave, Xue Wanyun saw Duan Qing lying on the stone bed, lying on his back, sleeping soundly.
Seeing Duan Qing sleeping soundly, Xue Wanyun was immediately furious.
Good!
I worry about you every day, afraid that you, a stinky boy, will get into trouble outside!
You are so good, you didn't even come to say hello when you came back, and you slept alone!
