Chapter 1021: Waiting
Yun Xizi opened Linglongbi just to let Duan Qing in, because the metal ball was stuck to Duan Qing's lower back!
And Duan Qing had saved his two apprentices in the past, so he planned to help Duan Qing while getting the treasure.
With his eyesight, combined with Duan Qing's escape behavior, how could he not see that Duan Qing was coerced by Wu Xingyun.
Who would have thought that Duan Qing didn't seem to be willing to accept his kindness!
At this time, Yun Xizi noticed the look in Duan Qing's eyes when he looked at Zhaixing, and instantly reacted and understood what Duan Qing was worried about.
The conflict between Duan Qing and Zhaixing was no secret to him.
But seeing that Wu Xingyun was about to catch up, Yun Xizi didn't have time to explain so much, and directly stretched out his hand to take Duan Qing and the metal iron ball into Linglongbi.
Feeling a suction force coming down on him, Duan Qing's face changed slightly, gritted his teeth, and urged the Void Hat to project himself into the virtual space.
In the current situation, whether he falls into the hands of Wu Xingyun or Taihuang Sect, it will not be a good result for him.
Rather than this, it is better to hide first!
Seeing Duan Qing suddenly disappear, Wu Xingyun and Yun Xizi both changed their expressions.
Then, the two reacted immediately and their expressions eased a little.
Both of them had dealt with Xing Wuji before and knew what Xing Wuji's Void Hat was capable of.
The Void Hat in Xing Wuji's hands is indeed a strange and unpredictable treasure, but in the hands of a junior like Duan Qing who does not understand the way of space, it can only be a dead object at most, a space spiritual treasure.
Now even if Duan Qing hides with the Void Hat, there will always be a time to come out, and the place where he comes out will most likely not change, and it will still be the place when he went in.
Wu Xingyun figured out the reason and couldn't help but hate it in his heart.
If he had known this earlier, he should have confiscated Duan Qing's storage device!
He was also too arrogant, and he didn't expect Duan Qing to really dare to escape!
Glancing at Yun Xizi and the others, Wu Xingyun was even more annoyed.
It was Yun Xizi who was causing trouble and ruined his good deeds, otherwise how could that little ghost Duan escape from his grasp.
"Hmph, the people are gone, why is Fellow Daoist Yun still staying here!" Wu Xingyun stopped outside Linglongbi and said coldly.
Yun Xizi smiled faintly and simply put away the entire upper half of Linglongbi, revealing a hemispherical platform.
"Hehe, didn't Fellow Daoist Wu leave too?"
As he spoke, Yun Xizi looked at Wu Xingyun meaningfully.
Wu Xingyun's face was gloomy, and he obviously understood that Yun Xizi also knew the means by which Duan Qing escaped.
He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Yun Xizi, and went straight to the point: "Wu will definitely take the people away, but you can leave that thing!"
Yun Xizi was stunned, and then slowly nodded and agreed: "Okay, then follow what Fellow Daoist Wu said!"
He agreed, but he was very puzzled about Wu Xingyun's purpose.
He had always thought that Wu Xingyun wanted to steal that thing, but now it seems that his primary goal seems to be Duan Qing!
In order to get someone, Wu Xingyun, who has always been known for his viciousness, actually took the initiative to compromise with his Taihuang Sect!
In his opinion, Duan Qing is just an ordinary Shinto disciple, at most a Mu Yu disciple, and it seems that it is not worth Wu Xingyun to make such a big fuss!
Especially Wu Xingyun gave up that treasure for Duan Qing!
This seems... a bit illogical!
The only explanation is that Duan Qing is much more important to Wu Xingyun than the treasure.
Although the specific reason is not clear, Yun Xizi is too lazy to think about it.
For his Taihuang Sect, getting that treasure is enough.
As for Duan Qing, he just gave him a chance, and Duan Qing didn't grasp it, so it's not his fault.
Before, he thought that Wu Xingyun's goal was the treasure, and the conflict with his Taihuang Sect was inevitable, so he deliberately saved Duan Qing.
Now that Wu Xingyun has made his attitude clear and is willing to take the initiative to compromise and give in, he will naturally not conflict with a master like Wu Xingyun for Duan Qing.
In a word, it's not worth it!
In fact, if Wu Xingyun had made his attitude clear earlier, he would not have saved Duan Qing at all.
After reaching a compromise, Yun Xizi and Wu Xingyun did not speak again, and each waited silently in the same place.
...
At this time, Duan Qing in the virtual space was secretly complaining.
After so many years in his hands, he has also studied some ways.
Now, even in the virtual space, he can spy on the outside world like Xing Wuji did in the past, but he can't hear the sound.
He has discovered that Wu Xingyun and Yun Xizi and others seem to have reached an agreement and are squatting outside to wait for him!
Duan Qing felt bitter in his heart, but also felt a little fortunate.
Judging from Yun Xizi's current attitude, if he was pulled into the spherical flying spiritual treasure just now, he might have to fall into Wu Xingyun's hands again under Wu Xingyun's coercion in the end.
Thinking about it afterwards, he actually figured out a little bit, the reason why Yun Xizi rescued him just now.
Yun Xizi probably wanted the metal iron ball, and saving him was just a convenience.
After all, there was nothing on him that was worth Yun Xizi's effort.
But what Wu Xingyun wanted was himself!
There was no conflict of interest between the two, how could Yun Xizi turn against Wu Xingyun for an outsider like him.
Thinking of the metal iron ball, Duan Qing looked helpless, and turned his head to look at his lower back.
At this time, he saw that the metal iron ball was firmly attached to his lower back.
It was strange that the metal ball was like a speck of dust, almost without any weight.
Just after entering the virtual space, he found that this thing had come in with him!
It was because he found that the metal ball had also entered the virtual space, combined with the scene he saw of the conversation between Wu Xingyun and Yun Xizi, that he guessed that the two had reached a compromise.
Duan Qing sighed helplessly, no longer looking at the outside world, but reached out to take off the metal ball and held it in his palms.
Looking at the metal ball in his hand, Duan Qing realized that this thing was not weightless, but just an illusion.
Because strictly speaking, this thing was not held in his palm now, but floating on his palms.
This metal ball seemed to have a layer of something on the surface that prevented people from touching it directly, and it was always in a suspended state.
So, rather than saying that the metal ball had no weight, it was better to say that this thing could fly by itself, making people ignore the weight.
Discovering this, Duan Qing was immediately confused.
This thing can obviously fly by itself, so why did it stick to his waist and be brought into the virtual space?
Duan Qing looked suspicious, slowly loosened one hand, stretched out two fingers, and tried to press the surface of the metal iron ball.
When the fingers moved forward to only an inch away from the metal iron ball, they could no longer move forward and were blocked by an invisible obstacle.
Duan Qing frowned slightly and gently stroked with two fingers.
The metal iron ball suddenly began to rotate slowly.
When it was halfway through the rotation, a faintly visible number on the surface of the metal iron ball suddenly caught Duan Qing's eyes.
Ninety-six!
